Screening for public offices and group home settings

**Screening tool developed for group home settings. This is being used in many public offices including the Vermont Statehouse.**

Given our district’s proximity to the MA border, Here is a Link to the State of MA site tracking virus in the Commonwealth.

Here is what I am saying to my own large extended family: Older people (like my mom) and people with respiratory issues or compromised immune systems should stay home. It is a great idea become a pro at washing your hands, don’t touch other people. If you have a fever, call your doctor.

Vermonters with questions can call 211 for more assistance.

Vermonters in my district who need added assistance can also contact me at 802-384-0233.
