From katkake1 at gmail.com Mon Nov 2 22:05:28 2020 From: katkake1 at gmail.com (Katrina Shaw) Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2020 22:05:28 -0600 Subject: [College Hill Topeka] Fwd: Media Release: Shawnee County COVID-19 Cases Increasing; Causing Delays in Contact In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Rachelle Vega-Retana Date: Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 7:52 AM Subject: Media Release: Shawnee County COVID-19 Cases Increasing; Causing Delays in Contact To: *Topeka, Kan.* ? Shawnee County is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. A provisional count for the week starting October 25 indicates that over 270 cases have been reported. On Friday, October 30, 2020 there were over 90 cases reported. This is an all-time daily record. The cases are widely distributed among multiple settings; including nursing homes and schools. In many cases an exact source of infection cannot be identified; additional evidence shows that several cases may be the result of infections acquired during small and large social gatherings. The high workload generated by this increase results in the health department inability to call newly diagnosed individuals in a timely manner and provide advice on precautions to take to avoid further transmission of the virus. Individuals who are notified of a positive laboratory test for COVID-19 should take the following precautions: 1. If you have severe symptoms immediately call your primary care provider and follow their directions. DO NOT GO TO THE DOCTOR?S OFFICE OR THE EMERGENCY ROOM unless you are instructed to do so by a healthcare provider. *Always call ahead.* 2. Isolate yourself in your house. Isolation means that you should not come in contact with anyone, should not leave your house and should not allow visitors to enter your house. Isolation should last at least 10 days from the date the symptoms appear, or if there are no symptoms from the date the laboratory test is performed. 3. Consider isolating yourself from your other household members, where possible. Transmission within the household is very common, but it may be prevented if sick individuals or those with a positive coronavirus test immediately isolate themselves in a different part of the house and have no direct contact with other household members. 4. Make a list of everyone that you had a close contact with (10 minutes within 6 feet) starting two days before symptoms appeared; or if not exhibiting symptoms, two days before the date the laboratory test was performed. Contact each individual and tell them that they have been exposed to the virus and they need to remain in quarantine in their home for 14 days from the date they were exposed. Individuals in quarantine should not leave their house, except for emergencies; and should not go to work or school. What can people do to protect themselves and to reduce the spread of the virus? 1. Avoid close contact with other individuals outside your household. Close contact is defined as contact within 6 feet that lasts 10 cumulative minutes or more. 2. Always wear a mask when in a public place. 3. Avoid large gatherings of people. 4. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. 5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. 6. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

I hope you are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Information covered in this email includes shopping tips, vehicle safety, license plate tips, mail tips, and information from Blue Cross Blue Shield about recognizing health issues. Please share this information with others who may not have email. *Shopping During COVID-19 * Shopping will be different this year with COVID-19. Please be sure to wear your mask to protect you and the other person. COVID-19 is spreading rapidly so be very careful when you are out and about. Are you going to take advantage of the sales this holiday season? Whether you are committed to Black Friday bargains at midnight, weekday shopping, online purchases or last-minute deals, Safe Streets has a few tips to keep you safe while shopping this holiday season. ? Know your surroundings and put the cell phone away when you?re walking in public. Walk confidently, in well-lit areas, paying attention to the people around you. ? Never leave a purse or wallet unattended ? especially in a shopping cart, vehicle or restroom stall floor. Ladies, consider wearing a ?cross-body? style purse. ? Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and take only the credit card(s) you need. ? Never leave purchases in plain sight in your vehicle. Store them in your trunk or take them home! ? Be patient with people and with other vehicles! If ordering online, here are a couple of things you can do to ensure your package is received: ? Request a signature confirmation of delivery ? Ask neighbors to watch for deliveries and agree to secure each other?s packages ? Deliver to workplace (if allowed) ? Track packages online ? Sign up for text notifications of delivery status. *Protecting Your Vehicle and Belongings* Nothing is more frustrating than going to get in your car, only to find the window smashed and your belongings gone. There are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of this happening to you. First of all, remove all valuables from sight. A car burglar typically walks through a parking area peering into cars just looking for something of interest to him or her. If you have a removable (pullout) stereo or faceplate, that is ideal! If not, at least remove accessories that may draw attention to the stereo. (CDs, tapes, remotes, etc.) Also, remove cell phones, briefcases, and duffle bags. Do not leave loose change in the cup holder or ash tray - that may attract a thief. Law enforcement reminds us to never leave a gun in your vehicle. *License plates* Next time you go to a hardware store, purchase a couple of ?tamper resistant bolts.? Replace the screws that secure your license plate to your car with these. This will slow down anyone trying to steal your plate because they will need a special tool and will likely just move to the next car. In addition, when you put your next registration sticker on your vehicle, remove the old ones layered underneath. If your sticker is securely adhered to the metal plate and someone tries to peel it off it will pull apart and void the sticker. If you have layered the sticker already, you may want to use a razor blade and carve an ?X? through the sticker. This will discourage a thief who will see the sticker coming off in four little parts if they try to remove it. *To keep your car from becoming a statistic: * ? Always lock all doors. ? Roll windows up tight. ? Park in heavily traveled areas. ? Don't hide spare keys-they can be found. ? Don't think it can't happen to you-act before, not after the crime. While you've been reading this information, 10 cars were stolen in this country. They were stolen because the opportunity was there. If you have taken these protective measures, you may deter the theft of your car and save yourself a lot of money and inconvenience! *Mail* A neighborhood told me that someone is taking mail out of their mailbox. Just a reminder, it is best to take the mail to the post office because once a person puts mail in the mailbox with the flag up, it is an opportunity for someone to know that a person may be paying a bill or other mail that might have their personal information. If a person is not able to take mail to the post office, it might be good to know about when the mail carrier is in your neighborhood. Please let me know if I can provide specific information to you. As always, we are here to help make neighborhoods safe.

This year in lieu of the annual Holiday Store, YWCA Northeast Kansas is asking the community to consider giving the gift of empowerment by donating gift cards to support survivors and their families this holiday season. Suggested gift cards in amounts of $25, $50, $75 and $100 to general retail stores (e.g., Wal-Mart, Target, Big Lots, Sam?s Club, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc.) or VISA cards preferred; however, any amount will be greatly appreciated. Gift cards can be mailed to the YWCA Northeast Kansas at 225 SW 12 th Street, Topeka, KS 66612 or dropped off between the hours of 8:30 AM ? 5:30 PM Monday through Friday. To allow clients time to shop for their families, a deadline for donations is set for Friday, December 11th, 2020 at 5:30 PM; however, gift cards for ?Hope for the Holidays? will be accepted until Wednesday, December 23rd, 2020 at 5:30 PM. Last year, the YWCA was able to serve 342 individuals (144 adults and 198 children) through the generosity of the Holiday Store. In the words of a survivor, ?I had to leave everything behind (clothing, toys, mementos) to flee an unsafe situation. [The Holiday Store] allows for me to provide my kids with a happy holiday, even though things are uncertain right now.? While the current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the service delivery of the YWCA annual holiday giving, the YWCA is still on a mission to make this season a little brighter for those who are impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and stalking.
