Lawn & Grounds Crew Member 4 Thursday, March 26, 2020 Grundy OPINION Register www.thegrundyregister.com Grassley Q & A: Coronavirus and You Question: What is Congress doing to address the public health and economic emergency? Answer: As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps across the country, lawmakers are working with the Trump administration to deliver an unprecedented response to this unprecedented crisis. Congress passed phase one, an $8.3 billion package to deliver aid to state and local gov- ernments, ramp up production of a coronavirus vaccine, expand access to telehealth services for seniors during the pandemic to limit exposure and spread of the virus, and purchase medical supplies and equipment. Meanwhile, efforts to contain and mitigate transmission of the virus have required Americans to make significant changes and sacrifices. Congress this week passed phase two to help workers facing layoffs and lost wages. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act will pro- vide free testing for the virus, increase food assistance, extend unem- ployment insurance and provide small- and medium-sized businesses with a payroll tax credit to fully cover costs for sick and family leave for their employees. On top of the public health crisis, the pandemic is disrupting the economy and turning lives and livelihoods upside down. The COVID-19 pandemic will rank among the greatest social and econom- ic disruptions in modern history. Not even 9/11 shut down entire sec- tors of the economy, from the U.S. auto industry to the travel, sports, entertainment and hospitality sectors. In addition to declaring a national emergency that freed up to $50 billion in federal aid, President Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act of 1950. This Korean War-era law will give the executive branch the authority to lean on domestic industries to fill gaps in the nation’s stockpile of medical equipment, such as protective face masks, ventilators and other essential healthcare supplies. Work is underway in Congress to address the sharp financial hard- ship on employers and workers. Phase three recognizes the catastroph- ic financial hit wage earners, small businesses, and the restaurant, re- tail, travel and hospitality industries -- among many others -- are facing An introduction with coast-to-coast shutdowns and restrictions that are disrupting our News Editor consumer-driven economy and way of life.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LOCAL HEALTH CARE: • Outpatient services at the hospital have been reduced until the transmission of COVID-19 is no longer a threat to our patients, visitors, and communities. This does not include health care diagnostics or procedures that are considered essential by your primary care or specialty provider. Inpatient and Emergency care will continue as usual. Please call ahead at 319-824-5081 if you have questions regarding the scheduling of care.

• The hospital, along with all other UnityPoint Health hospitals, has adopted a NO VISITOR policy. Patient visitors will be allowed in certain circumstances, such as emergency or hospice care. All patients and visitors should use Entrance #3 (west entrance), where health screening will take place as you enter. The hospital’s south Entrance #1 is now closed.

• If you feel sick with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing and have reason to suspect you have COVID-19 (coronavirus) and do not need emergency medical care, please call your medical provider’s office to be properly screened before your arrival. If you believe you need emergency care, please call ahead to inform the hospital of your symptoms. Calling ahead will help us plan for your visit and protect others from illness.

Thank you for understanding these rapid changes in how we are delivering care. You can help your family, friends, and community reduce and potentially prevent the spread of COVID-19 by following the recommendations established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention www.cdc.gov( ) and the Iowa Department of Public Health (www.idph.gov). Details on the hospital’s service availability and Visitor Policy may be found at www.grundycountyhospital.org.
