COVID – 19 (Coronavirus) Response
Statement from Andy Wolfskill, CEO of Child & Family Guidance Center
March 13, 2020, Dallas, TexasTo Our Valued Clients and Consumers,
As our communities continue to feel the increased impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), it is important to share with you what we are doing to help keep people safe and healthy. Please be assured we have been getting information from multiple local, county, federal, and even international sources and will continue to monitor these sources for additional information and recommendations. The health of our employees, staff, and clients will continue to be of the utmost importance. Following the guidance of the sources mentioned above, we have been in an “information sharing” phase. If you have visited one of our locations, you have seen the signage posted providing information regarding stopping the spread of germs. These signs provide important information about; hand washing, how to cover a cough or sneeze, avoiding close contact with others, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, not touching your face, and not coming to work if you are sick. As of today, Dallas County has issued a Public Health Emergency Disaster Declaration after its first case of community-spread COVID-19 coronavirus. In response to the declaration Child & Family Guidance Center (CFGC) is moving from an information sharing phase to a more active prevention phase. Again, with guidance from multiple sources, CFGC will be implementing the following for the safety of those we serve:
All the talk about the coronavirus understandably has many worried. Health officials are urging providers to remain calm and we are encouraging those we serve to assist us in our efforts to remain calm. Our top priority is the health and safety of those we serve and our staff. We will continue to monitor the appropriate sources for information and guidance, and as the situation evolves we will be updating staff and clients with new information and decisions regarding service provision and operations.
