Currently, corporate in not taking any proactive action. We will be putting a notice in the newsletter to suggest all caregivers take the online course covering infections disease. As for masks, Janine has done some research and they are hard to find, but we will add some suggestions in this week's newsletter. On another note, I review on a weekly basis, industry wide home health and home care list serves. To date, the virus has not been mentioned by any of these groups. I will keep you posted if anything comes across my desk. Best, Barbara On Mon, Feb 24, 2020 at 10:03 AM James Patchett wrote: > Hi Tim, > > Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns.
