Vision North Iowa partners believe that Public Health = Economic Health and have adopted the Mask of Wellness initiative. This positive movement supports and promotes ‘COVID-Conscious’ businesses so together we can #KeepNorthIowaOpen. Businesses can sign up and self-certify at www.maskofwellness.com, pledging that they will take three simple actions to maintain the safety of employees and customers of their establishments:
MASKS: Masks worn by every employee in all shared areas of the work environment
HYGIENE: Practice personal, surface, and distance hygiene
HEALTH: Conduct daily health self-certification
The Mask of Wellness program is available to anyone and it takes less than a minute to sign up. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to all of the toolkit resources.

Below is the COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine guidelines from CG Public Health as of June 29, 2020. These guidelines should be used for ALL employees affected by the virus in order to control the spread of COVID-19 to additional employees within your facility.

Implement measures to enable social distancing as much as possible.
Prioritize hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette among employees.
