COVID-19 Response Below are your daily updates pertaining to the COVID-19 situation in Hale County and in the state of Alabama. As of this morning, there is 1 confirmed Coronavirus case in Hale County and HCH has tested 24 people with 13 tests resulting negative and the remainder of the results still pending. An additional important city-wide update is that the city of Greensboro now has a mandatory curfew from 10pm-6am. Residents will be asked to remain in their home or place of residence during these hours. You may only be out if you are essential personnel traveling to or from work. We also want to remind you to continue practicing the following behaviors: Wash hands for 20 seconds at least every hour with antibacterial soap. Also be sure to wash your hands before eating, after coming into contact with communal surfaces, after visiting public places, etc. Use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then dispose of that tissue Do not touch your face, especially nose, eyes, and mouth Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at least 3 times a day Avoid non-essential travel. When you do travel for essential reasons (e.g. grocery shopping), use available disinfectant wipes on your carts/baskets, and sanitize your hands and any personal belongings. Stay home if sick and self-quarantine to protect others who may live with you Social distancing; avoid large crowds (e.g. supermarkets, churches, restaurants)--the official government guidelines restrict group gatherings to no more than 10 people. Note that young people are not immune to this--even if you are young and healthy, you may be affected by the coronavirus, and you may still carry and pass it on to the more vulnerable members of your community. This is a time for everyone to do their part in protecting the broader community. In the past few days, we have received several inquiries about obtaining items like gloves and masks. The reality is that the U.S. at large, and specifically hospitals and healthcare institutions, are facing incredible shortages of these materials, and these are the facilities that need them the most. According to CDC guidelines, healthy individuals do not need to be wearing masks. Therefore, unless you are ill or caring for someone who is ill and unable to wear a mask, it is unnecessary for you to wear one when going out in public. On that note, the hospital is in short supply of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and is accepting donations--if anyone has gowns, surgical masks, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes or other disinfectant products, and/or gloves that they are willing to donate, we would be extremely grateful for any such donations.
