PLEA SENT TO STATE FOR PPE FOR DD WORKERS
In a communication sent directly to Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton on Wednesday, OACB communicated the DD system's urgent need for high-priority access to personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 response period.
TABLETOP EXERCISE TO PREPARE FOR COVID-19 DIAGNOSIS
Anyone who provides service to people with developmental disabilities should be preparing to address a potential COVID-19 diagnosis. To help you prepare, we are attaching a tabletop exercise that you may want to complete to help you discover how prepared you are.
MUI RULES STILL IN EFFECT
The Medina County Board of DD Investigative Agents are continuing to file MUIs (Major Unusual Incidents) as they are reported. There have been no changes to MUI reporting requirements, investigations or follow-up. (Except that face to face interviews are not necessary at this time.)

To report an MUI during business hours, call 330-764-8988. After business hours call 330-416-0840. Or, unless it is a 4-hour report which requires verbal notification, please send the report to muireport@mc b dd.org

DODD reports that Abuser Registry cases continue to be processed. In addition to reporting an MUI to the MCBDD, DODD MUI department is still receiving calls through their statewide Abuse/Neglect hotline and the MUI main office number and responding accordingly. The DODD MUI Hotline number is 1-866-313-6733.                        
ODH COVID-19 ADVICE FOR WHEN TO CONTACT A DOCTOR
Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton has strongly recommended that all Ohioans immediately take certain actions if they or someone they are caring for are feeling sick.
ISP DETAILS FOR PROVIDERS
If you are a provider who is serving someone either new or as an existing client, and have questions about an individual’s ISP and service delivery, please remember to contact the SSA assigned to either answer your questions or to receive a copy of the ISP.
CARING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS SICK
Care received in a person's home can help stop the spread of COVID-19 and help protect people who are at the highest risk for getting seriously ill. Here are the protocols from the CDC for caring for the sick at home.
As always, the health, safety and well-being of our individuals, students and staff remain our top priorities. If you have any questions, please contact our Superintendent Stacey Maleckar at 330-725-7751 ext. 224. Thank you for your continued support of our agency.
