 Dear THCA staff, volunteers, and clients,

With recent confirmation of cases in Georgia and metro Atlanta of COVID 19, we are working hard to implement precautions that will help protect our guests, volunteers and staff from infection.

VOLUNTEERS/GUESTS THIS WEEK

At the present time we are wiping down chairs, tables, carts, doorknobs, multiple times a day. Gloves, tissues, wipes and hand sanitizers are available for volunteers and guests. 

We encourage everyone to take the following precautions as recommended by the CDC to protect yourself and those around you:

--wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

--stay home when you are sick and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.

--avoid close contact with those who are sick.

--avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

--cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.

--clean and disinfect surfaces.

--get a flu shot if you have not already.

--maintain a distance of six feet from others (social distancing).

Volunteers/guests should not come to Toco Hills Community Alliance if they are:

--experiencing a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing or are otherwise ill

--have been exposed to an individual with COVID 19

--or have any condition or status that may make you more susceptible to serious complications if you contract COVID 19. Older adults and persons with underlying health conditions are considered to be at increased risk for severe illness and complications from COVID19. 

As you know, we are dependent on volunteers to operate. If you are not able to come at your scheduled time, please email melissaneesse67@gmail.com and copy lisa@tocohillsalliance.org.
