COVID-19 AND OPT IN PROCEEDURES
If you have not already opted-in and wish to
proceed with in-person volunteer visits at this time, please complete all of
the following steps:
1) Watch this 40 minute
COVID education refresher. It will tell you
everything you need to know to resume in-person visits. There is a section
about weekly testing. This can be ignored. All other requirements mentioned in
the video are still in place.
2) Complete the COVID
Competency exam and return it to us at volunteer@trucare.org or by
regular mail to the address in my signature below.
3) Complete
this short opt-in
Google Form. Please answer all
questions.
4) Complete
a personal health screening before each visit or before
each shift at the Care Center. For home visits, call the family the day of
the visit to confirm they are prepared to see you. Ask them: "has anyone
in the home had symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 7 days." If they
say yes, cancel your visit and let us know. Indicate their answer on the
corresponding question on your personal health screening.
