Corona Virus Update
Here at The Dale Association, the safety and well-being of our employees, members, clients, volunteers, and community members who visit our agency is of utmost importance. We are closely monitoring updates about the rapidly evolving situation with the coronavirus and are following guidance from the experts such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and our local health department. The agency remains open as usual and programs remain on schedule at this time. In the event of any changes, we will keep you informed. For the Dale community’s well-being, we have taken a number of preventive steps:
- All our facilities are being cleaned thoroughly and disinfected regularly in accordance with CDC protocols.
- We have and are adding more hand sanitizers inside our buildings.
- We have posted educational materials to encourage and educate people to:
-
- Wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
- Avoid close contact with sick people.
- Stay home if sick.
- Cover coughs or sneezes with a tissue, then discard into the trash.
- Use appropriate protective equipment.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- We are requiring all employees who are feeling ill to stay home.
- We are monitoring visitors and requesting those who feel ill to stay home.
- We are asking about travel to countries that the CDC has issued a level 2or 3 travel designation within the last 14 days and will follow CDC protocol.
