\nCOVID-19 PLAN
\n13 August 2020
\nBackground: With the outbreak of COVID-19, it is important that we observe safety precautions for this highly
\ncontagious virus for the health of each individual Crew volunteer, as well as, the whole Crew, for our upcoming
\ndeployment from 16 to 30 September 2020, to build a home for the Marler Family of Whitley City, KY.
\nPre-Screening of Volunteer’s Health: Before traveling to KY, each volunteer should review their health and check
\nwith a doctor if you have any of the common coronavirus symptoms shown on Attachment (1 ). If a positive virus test
\noccurs, you need to be quarantined for 14 days and then receive a negative virus test before coming on this deployment.
\nIn addition, volunteers who are 65 years or older or have any underlying conditions (such as respiratory ailments and
\ndiabetes) should seriously consider not coming this year.
\nProcedures: “Healthy At Work” practices from the Kentucky website www.kycovidl9.ky.gov are highlighted on
\nAttachment (2). The following Crew procedures to comply with local requirements will be implemented:
\nSocial Distancing: Efforts will be made to stay 6 feet apart whenever possible, wearing of face masks, and frequent
\nhand cleaning with Crew provided hand sanitizer. Note the Crew will bring a limited number of 3-ply face masks, so it is
\nrecommended that each volunteer bring their own preferred face masks.
\nDaily Check for Virus Symptoms: With a fever being the most common coronavirus symptom, a digital forehead
\n(non-touch) thermometer will be used for taking a daily body temperature of each volunteer. If a high body temperature
\nof over 100.4 degrees For 38 degrees C is found, or if other symptoms of Attachment (1) are noted, the volunteer will be
\nreferred to a local clinic (see preferred clinics on next page) for a possible coronavirus test. If tested, the volunteer will
\nbe isolated from the rest of the Crew in the house South of St. Joseph’s Inn until the test results come back in 2 to 4 days.
\nIf the volunteer’s test is returned positive, the volunteer will remain in isolation the remainder of the deployment or until
\nbe or she leaves KY. The Food Crew will periodically check by phone on any isolated volunteer and provide meals.
\nSurface Cleaning: The Food Crew will sanitize all food serving areas daily at St. Joseph’s Inn. The Crew has hired
\nthe St. Joseph’s Inn cleaning person to daily sanitize the sinks, toilets, showers and floors in the three (3) Inn’s
\nbathrooms. At the jobsite, volunteers will use their own tools, as much as possible. Common use tools and areas (such as
\nthe portable toilets) will be sanitized daily with the Crew provided Clorox disinfected wipes. Disinfected surfaces will be
\nleft to dry for four (4) minutes. Note the used wipes are to be disposed of in the trash and not the toilet.
\nPersonal Items to Bring List: Attachment (3) shows this list which was modified earlier this year. As safety
\nprecaution, St. Joseph’s Inn will no longer provide pillows with cases so each volunteer needs to bring their own pillow
\nwith a case. As mentioned above, volunteers should bring their own preferred face masks.
\nLocal Visiting: The visiting of local bars, restaurants and homes is discouraged for the protection of the Crew and
\nthe local population. Note that local bars and restaurants are restricting the number of patrons.
\nCOYID Materials: See Attachment ( 4)- for a list of virus fighting materials being brought for this year’s
\ndeployment.
\nPreferred Local Clinics for Handling Possible Coronavirus Infections:
\n(1) Hope Primary Clinic: Phone: 606-376-9700; 8 AM to 8 PM, M-F, 8 AM to 4 PM, Sat and 1 to 4 PM, Sun;
\nSouth on Highway 27 at Stoplight 3; all coronavirus tests take 2-4 days.
\n(2) South Fork Medical Clinic: Phone: 606-376-7212; 8 AM to 4 PM, M-F; Across from the Christian Care Center
\nand North of Lumber King.
\nAll volunteers should ensure they bring the necessary medical insurance documentation.
\nSummary: The above measures are intended to help safeguard our Crew volunteers from the pandemic, so we can
\ncomplete our mission of building our 36th home for needy Appalachian family. Volunteers should seriously consider not
\ndoing any actions that might contract the virus to endanger their health or the health of the entire Crew. Your
\ncooperation will be $featly ap_preciated.
