Coronavirus Updates -- Handling Stress Webinar, Cleaning & Sanitation and Hy-Vee Biometric Screenings

Some general updates about Coronavirus response...


March 18 Webinar from Interactive Health to Address Handling Stress in Uncertain Times 

Ongoing concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19) have many of us on edge. You may be feeling more stressed or anxious than usual — and that’s common during a health crisis or time of uncertainty. The good news: Interactive Health can help! 

Join us for a webinar on March 18 from 12:00 - 12:45 p.m. where we’ll: 
• Explore the dynamics of stress, worry and anxiety 
• Examine why we worry 
• Discuss tips for lowering stress and anxiety 



Interactive Health has created a COVID-19 resource page that includes information to support your emotional health during this challenging time. It includes tips on breathing techniques, how to sleep well, building resilience and more. We encourage you to take a look and share with family and friends if you find it valuable.


Please Take Community Food Home

In some areas of our offices, staff is very generous in sharing community food, snacks and candy. Please remove all community food and refrain from offering community food and snacks until further notice. 


Refrigerator Cleaning This Week in Admin and REC Buildings  

The refrigerators in the Johnston Administration and REC buildings will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized this week. Most food has been removed, but there may be some forgotten, stored or abandoned food items and containers. Remove community condiments and refrain from storing food overnight in agency refrigerators until further notice.

Carpet Cleaning on the Johnston Campus 

Carpet in the Johnston Regional Education Center will be cleaned during spring break to take advantage of how light the traffic will be (which we often do over breaks). In light of current events, this work will be enhanced. All of the unreserved meeting and conference rooms in the REC will be closed this week for maintenance so we can focus on deep cleaning rooms, and so we can move through the building in an efficient and effective manner. There were very few bookings, and we've consolidated them near the front of the building in as few rooms as possible.  

Hy-Vee Biometric Screenings Canceled

Due to the ongoing concerns with COVID-19, the upcoming April 2, 2020, biometric screening event is canceled. In addition, Hy-Vee is no longer performing screenings in stores until further notice. If you have any questions, contact Britini Jones or Juliette Houseman.
