[CED/CD/EAT] Question from admin

Wed Jan 19 10:17:44 MST 2022

A. Currently, we are not struggling to deliver our mission. We moved some programs back to remote learning. However, we do no have the capacity to enforce UArizona rules with 4-H clubs. Some clubs have moved to remote meetings. Others have not. Unfortunately, continuing to enforce masks wearing for some clubs may mean they will just quit and we will have a challenge in rebuilding 4-H.
B. We had/have 20% positive cases for staff, etc: an employee that has always worked remotely and an AmeriCorps member who currently has Covid.
C. One employee isolated due to exposure.

We are all KN95 masked in our office. However, it feels like a Covid bomb that is waiting to go off with so many cases in the community. Everyone is on edge.

Subject: [CED/CD/EAT] Question from admin

Dear Directors and ADs:

I was sent an email with some questions about COVID’s impact on Extension programs, and I thought I would do a quick canvas to see if any of you had some input.

The questions are:

  1.  Are you struggling to deliver on missions one way or another because of clinical COVID illness so severe - meaning that people literally can’t work?
  2.  Are you hearing of a lot of CES employees with SARS COV2 positive tests (i.e., SARS COV2 infection) who are required to take isolation/quarantine periods? Please include your definition of “a lot”.
  3.  Are you hearing of a lot of CES employees with SARS COV2 negative tests who are required to take isolation/quarantine periods because of familial exposure? Please include your definition of “a lot.”

I will need to answer by the end of the day. My take is that there are a few instances but not what I would call a lot.

Let me know if you have any input on this.

Ed
