Update on COVID-19

Marlene Kurban • March 16, 2020

As the number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases increases in the state and nationally, we want to assure our clients, employees, funders, and donors that we are closely following guidance from state and local public health officials and government agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC’s current recommendations on what you can do to prepare your family in the event COVID-19 spreads in the community are as follows:

  • Keep abreast of local information.
  • Know the Signs & Symptoms: Know the  signs and symptoms  of COVID-19 and what to do if symptomatic. Stay home when you are sick. Call your health care provider’s office in advance of a visit. Limit movement in the community and limit visitors.
  • Take Steps for Those at Higher Risk: Know what additional measures those at  higher risk  and who are vulnerable should take.
  • Protect Yourself & Family: Implement  steps to prevent illness  (e.g., stay home when sick, handwashing, respiratory etiquette, clean frequently touched surfaces daily).
  • Create a Household Plan: Create a  household plan  of action in case of illness in the household or disruption of daily activities due to COVID-19 in the community. Consider a 2-week supply of prescription and over the counter medications, food and other essentials. Know how to get food delivered if possible. Establish ways to communicate with others (e.g., family, friends, co-workers) and establish plans to adapt to closings and cancellations.
  • Know about emergency operations plans for schools/workplaces of household members.
