E-Blast: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Prevention, Precautions, and Protocols

March 5, 2020 1:20 PM

Dear Colleagues and Partners,

We are all concerned about the coronavirus and remaining healthy. These concerns must be balanced with our unwavering commitment to serve vulnerable families throughout Georgia. That said, we will continue normal operations, focusing on prevention and planning for future developments as they relate to our virus response. We are working closely with other state, local and federal entities to monitor the situation and will provide additional information if and/or when the situation changes.

As we continue to serve Georgia’s families and children, employees are expected to treat constituents with respect, understanding that symptoms commonly associated with coronavirus are similar to those of the common cold. Do not engage in behavior that could be perceived as bigoted or discriminatory in the name of virus avoidance. The best way to protect yourself and others is to implement the same measures you use to avoid any illness.

Please read the linked letter from DFCS Director Tom Rawlings for more information.

Thank you.

The Office of Provider Management
