Coronavirus (COVID-19) response
Dear CBC Family,

Please check out this week's updates for the latest resources related to COVID-19. As always, we are continuing to monitor this situation and will keep you updated on how this is affecting the services we provide and the impact on our employees. 
Updated COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms


The CDC has updated their list of signs and symptoms for COVID-19. Please check out the link below for a more detailed list.
In light of the Public Health Emergency concerning the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is providing updates to ensure that entities covered by civil rights authorities keep in mind their obligations under laws and regulations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, and exercise of conscience and religion in HHS-funded programs.

Request for DSPs to Participate in Survey
The National Alliance of Direct Support Professionals (NADSP) in partnership with the Institute on Community Integration at the University of Minnesota has developed a survey for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this workforce and identify the most effective ways to protect DSPs and the people they support. The results of this survey will be shared widely with policymakers, services providers, direct support professionals, families, and stakeholders. Information from this survey can prove useful to state systems as they construct plans for recovery and future disaster planning.

The ARC of NC Provides Resources for Individuals That Need to be Seen at Healthcare Facilities
This form can be filled out to make sure that the needs of any individual are met. It also ensures that healthcare workers have as much information as possible to best assist anyone in need, regardless of their ability to communicate those needs.
