Do Jehovah's Witnesses still preach from door to door in times of Corona?

No, not right now. We are taking this seriously. We want to help people...save them, if we can. We would feel awful if, by talking to someone at their door, we gave them Covid!
When this threat is over, though, we’ll resume.

I haven't had any of them knock on my door in London since the virus crisis, not that that is conclusive.
But I hope for their sake they have suspended operations, as round here the JWs are nearly all black and thus apparently at higher risk from the virus than white people, for reasons that are not yet understood.
I typically get one visit a year and there's been none this year.
Just wanted to add....we are still preaching, through phone calls and letters.

Sounds like a lack of faith........But thanks for being considerate of others.
Lol. Luke 4:12. In conjunction with Proverbs 22:3, Berean Study Bible...."The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences." It's the wise course.
You're welcome...we try to be. Philippians 2:3-4
Take care.

Can I ask. Not being rude. Have masks been considered when going door to door?
no, not since the covid-19 started where it is best to keep social distance and wearing mask in order not to spread the desease to other people. Jw's have other ways to preach to people such as letter writing, telephone witnessing etc.
no not since the covid-19. Jw's have other ways to preach to people, also Jehovah's witnesses are made up of all different races in this world.

... and RF (just as much as is allowed).
FYI, I would never think you were being rude to me!
The answer is simple: we are just not going from door-to-door.
So it's a moot question.
When the danger is past, we will resume.
Take care of yourself, my cousin.

I don't think so -- I have gotten 3 phone calls from them, though.
Question for you: Are masks 100% effective?
The only effective way to keep from spreading this life-threatening disease, is to stay away from others.
That’s not hard to understand, is it?
Our preaching work continues... mainly through phone calls & writing letters.

Are you okay?
I'm just curious, that's all; nothing big about the question.
I personally do not believe they are 100% effective. Though, we tend to wear them pretty much everywhere were were cannot social distance. So, unless maybe there's thirty or some odd people in one small living room, I don't see wearing masks alone is a problem.
If door-to-door is commanded by Christ, and people wear masks when they can't social distance, it would make sense (at least to me) that since its a command by christ one would take the next best step to wear a mask.
I can see if there were no such masks, then you have a point. Since it's commandment by christ, wouldn't masks be the next best thing if you really need to evangelize to get people to come to christ by biblical mandate?
Get some fresh air?
I don't care for those either. I'd rather talk to people who show interest "first" than calling people with whom I don't know will. But my point is since it's a christ-mandate to evangelize, why not wear masks? (In public, it's not 100% effective. The cases are still going up, it seems. But people still do it. So...)
