What every community can do now to decrease the spread of the coronavirus

With confirmed coronavirus cases growing in Iowa, we want to reach out to you and share some helpful information. Our entire team at Community Housing Initiatives is dedicated to the safety and well-being of our residents and our communities.

We want to work together, as a team, as more information becomes available to us. Please read this information and share with your family.

In the meantime, simple steps can be taken to make sure we are doing our best to stop the spread of germs. Here are a few other things you can do (teach your children to do the same!) to keep your family healthy and help prevent the spread of viruses:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Stay away from others who are sick and stay home if you are ill
Cough and sneeze into a tissue (make sure to throw it away after each use!) or cough and sneeze into your arm or elbow, not your hands
Clean and disinfect household objects and surfaces in your home, and please take a little extra effort to help your community by disinfecting common areas, railings, door knobs, etc.
Avoid touching your face

If you or a family member has a fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath, please see your doctor immediately. This is very important. Also, if you are sick, we ask that you hold basic work orders until you have been cleared from illness.

We also ask that you let your regional manager know if you test positive for the coronavirus (contact info is below). Your information will be kept private and will only be used to help us continue education to our family of residents.
