Coronavirus (COVID-19) update as of 3:30pm 3/26/2020 

Today there was not much change to what everyone has already heard, but please read the information below as it pertains to you as a B’s staff and follow through on what if being asked of you; 

Stay Home MN: You can leave your home but be smart and follow the executive orders; you can work, go to the doctor, shop for necessities, and so on. No paperwork to prove your employment is needed at this time. Staff can go to work and should return directly home after your shift, wash clothing as soon as possible (to help with droplet precaution), take a shower, and then proceed with your day. If you are using hand sanitizer, please note it should be at least 60% alcohol to be at the CDC recommendation, but I will say something is better than nothing if you do not have this at this time. No Marshall Law at this time, but that can change. The Stay Home MN order is not OPTIONAL! If we don’t follow it, we cannot help to stop the spread of this virus. We have at least 2 deaths in our state and have well over 300 people with positive tests. These numbers are not the highest in the U.S. but remember people that end up getting this are often the people that we care for in their homes and for your safety and theirs we need to limit the extra introduction of germs where we can. Social Distancing may seem like a joke, but at this time it is needed. Make sure as a B’s family we are doing what we can to contain and protect the communities we live in while still providing the best care we can to those we serve. Please note that dates are just dates, we will be living this day by day, and as we live it the virus will drive the way we change. “Today will tell us what we should be doing tomorrow.”

Schools and Daycares: As an HCP (health care provider) you are able to use the school services and if you have daycare they are still allowed to care for your child as this order is clear on this need for HCP to stay working and caring for those with needs.
