Little Rivers Health Care COVID-19 Update 4.30.20

The Vermont Principals' Association officially canceled high school spring sports, and the association is hopeful that sacrifices today will allow sports to resume in the fall season. The CDC reported that the overall cumulative COVID-19 hospitalization rate is 29.2 per 100,000, with the highest rates in people 65 years and older (95.5 per 100,000) and 50-64 years (47.2 per 100,000).
We had our second Community Zoom meeting today. One of the participants today was Julia from the Oxbow Senior Independence Program (OSIP) which provides adult day services for men and women from Bradford, Corinth, Fairlee, Newbury, Ryegate, Thetford, Topsham, Wells River, and other surrounding towns in Vermont and bordering communities in New Hampshire.  OSIP is monitoring COVID-19 concerns closely and hopes to resume services soon. Julia noted "it is nice to talk it back and forth, learn, make connections, and gain new ideas" regarding today's meeting. Our next session will be on Monday at 10:00AM. There was an error in the initial link for today's meeting. We apologize for anyone that may have had trouble connecting, and the problem is fixed.  Meeting information is available on our website home page.
