A. Currently, we <i>are not</i> struggling to deliver our mission. We moved some programs back to remote learning. However, we
<i>do no</i> 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.</div>

Dear Directors and ADs:</p>

</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
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" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The questions are:</p>

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?

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

</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
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>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
