<p class="x_MsoNormal">Here in Pinal, and what I’ve heard from others is similar, we have had people test positive (2 or 3 in a week out of nearly 40 staff) and maybe a couple more in a week needing to quarantine. I wouldn’t call that ‘a lot’ either. It’s about
10 to 15 percent of employees in any given week. Most weeks are less, so far. Cathy</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dear Directors and ADs:</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The questions are:</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<ol start="1" type="A" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Are you <u>struggling to deliver
</u>on missions one way or another because of clinical COVID illness so severe - meaning that people literally can’t work?
</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Are you hearing of a lot of CES employees with SARS COV2<b> positive</b> tests (i.e., SARS COV2 infection) who are required to take isolation/quarantine periods? Please include
<u>your</u> definition of “a lot”.</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Are you hearing of a lot of CES employees with SARS COV2
<b>negative</b> tests who are required to take isolation/quarantine periods because of familial exposure? Please include
<u>your</u> definition of “a lot.”</li></ol>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">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.</p>
