[CED/CD/EAT] Question from admin

[Orr, Ethan R - (eorr)]

Ed,

I appreciate the question and here in Santa Cruz county we are not struggling to meet our mission. We are taking extra precautions like moving staff meetings and other meetings that we can to zoom but we are still delivering on services and active in the community. Fortunately we have not had issues with exposure to Covid. And we are monitoring potential risk in all of our programs particularly our family resource centers and our school based programs but also everything dealing with nutrition and diabetes classes as well.

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
