B

A
Everybody
I
just
want
to
give
an
update
again
thanks
for
hosting
this
city
of
Bloomington.
As
many
of
you
know,
we've
had
two
confirmed
kovat
cases
among
our
employees.
One
announced
last
Saturday
fire
department
in
our
fire
department
and
one
announced
this
morning
in
our
parks
and
recreation
department.
We
are
publishing
those
to
share
with
the
public
to
be
aware
that
we
are
implementing
all
recommended
CDC
and
state
health
and
guidelines
as
we
as
we
go
forward
with
that,
and
we'll
continue
to
do
all
we
can
to
to
protect
everybody.
A
I
also
note
that
the
families
first
coronavirus,
Relief,
Act
I,
think
that's
what
it's
called
FF
CRA
is
in
effect
now
for
many
institutions,
including
governments,
which
is
a
new
federal
law.
That's
allowing
employees
through
a
number
of
different
categories,
whether
they
themselves
or
a
family,
has
been
diagnosed
or
or
determined
to
be
likely.
A
Cova
19
infection
or
some
other,
as
approaches
as
well,
can
get
two
weeks
full
pay,
as
well
as
there's
a
new
12-week
expansion
of
the
family,
Family
Medical
Leave
Act,
which
is
available
for
employees
who
have
a
dependent
child
that
they
need
to
care
for
due
to
school,
closings
or
childcare.
Closings.
Just
mentioning
that
I
didn't
want
people
to
know.
We've
we've
increased
our
monthly
cabinet
meetings
in
the
city
to
weekly.
A
We
have
weekly
virtual
cabinet
meetings
now
to
help
coordinate
all
that's
going
on
as
well
as
our
continuity
of
city
government
team
is
meeting
I.
Think
the
other
night
to
meeting
we
met
today,
ninth
meeting
in
about
two
and
a
half
weeks
to
make
sure
we're
reviewing
all
of
the
things
we
should
be
doing.
I'll.
Just
briefly
note
to
how
much
we
appreciate
the
collaboration
with
Indiana
University
on
the
police.
Our
two
police
departments
are
really
collaborating
extremely
well
to
try
to
monitor
some
episodes
where
we
have
non-physical
distancing
activities.
A
A
The
social
services
team,
which
is
led
by
five
philanthropic
leaders
in
the
community,
is
digging
into
a
whole
range
of
challenges
in
the
shortened
short
and
long
term,
including
immediate
shelter,
efforts
just
for
the
public
and
very
briefly
I'll
just
mention
they're,
really,
three
quite
different
sheltering
needs
that
are
being
addressed.
One
is
quarantine,
people
who
are
symptomatic
or
even
diagnosed,
who
need
to
be
quarantined.
That's
one
kind
of
housing
need
for
people
who
don't
have
other
options
for
that.
A
A
second
is
isolation
which
is
focused
on
at-risk
individuals,
not
symptomatic,
but
at-risk
either,
due
to
the
age
or
conditions
who
should
be
isolating,
but
for
reasons
they
cannot
do
so
at
home.
That's
a
second
category
of
shelter
and
a
third
category
is
really
physical,
distancing
for
emergency
shelter,
residents
residents,
who
might
be
in
an
emergency
shelter
and
much
too
tight
arrangement,
and
all
three
of
those
are
being
looked
at
very
intensively
with
collaboration
with
our
local
partners.
A
It
looks
like
the
isolation
I'm,
sorry,
the
I
think
it's
yes,
the
isolation
center
may
be
opening,
yet
today
they
have
to
pass
a
fire
inspection
today
and
then
I'll.
Lastly,
mention
I
think
the
the
second
work
team
on
economic
and
stabilization
and
recovery,
a
group
of
business
and
employment
leaders
who
are
working
to
stand
up,
approaches
that
that
can
address
these
urgent
economic
needs,
including
it
looks
like
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
up
to
that
of
local
money.
C
C
They
could
do
so
online
and
even
though
the
work
one
offices
are
closed
and
once
they're
denied
that
they
can
then
be
covered
through
the
cares.
Act.
So
I
want
to
encourage
folks
who
are
in
those
positions
to
go
ahead
and
apply
and
make
sure
they
take
advantage
of.
The
benefits
that
are
being
offered.
I
also
want
to
note
that
we
do
have
our
food
and
beverage
support
application
available.
It
is
on
the
county's
website,
seokmin
row
dot,
I
m
dot,
US
and
right
from
the
home
page.
C
You
can
find
that
link
with
some
information
and
then
the
application
itself.
This
is
for
tourist
related
locally
owned
small
businesses
in
Monroe
County
outside
the
city
of
Bloomington
that
are
suffering
losses
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
this
is
a
way
for
us
to
help
provide
some
support
much-needed
support
to
keep
those
businesses
going
so
that
they're
there
and
they're
strong
when
when
they,
when
we're
able
to
come
back
to
full
strength.
C
So
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
great
folks
at
United,
Way
Bloomington
Economic
Development
Corporation,
for
their
work
on
the
coalition.
We've
had
kind
commissioners
on
calls
with
the
coalition
with
the
child
care,
workforce
team.
So
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
and
we're
all
involved
and
doing
everything.
We
can
we're
really
impressed
with
the
way
that
Monroe
County
residents
are
really
for
the
most
part,
doing
what
needs
to
happen.
C
They're
staying
home,
which
is
great
and-
and
this
is
an
important
important
thing
to
remember,
even
if
we
feel
we're
fine,
even
though
it's
been
a
few
weeks,
this
is
we're
in
for
the
long
haul,
and
so
just
a
reminder
that
we
are
all
in
this
together
six
feet
apart
and
I
appreciate
the
work
of
our
health
department,
coddled
and
emergency
management,
Allison
Moore
and
we're
gonna
hear
from
them
next.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
Great,
thank
you
very
much
so
just
kind
of
a
general
update,
hopefully
people
that
want
to
look
at
the
stats
and
statistics
that
are
going
on
or
staying
tuned
into,
the
state
health
department's
website
and
the
dashboard
in
Indiana.
As
of
this
morning,
there
were
thirty,
four
hundred
and
thirty
seven
positive
cases
confirmed.
We
unfortunately
have
had
a
hundred
and
one
deaths
and
we
have
tested
over.
Oh
just
shy
of
17,000
people
now.
So
sixteen
thousand
nine
hundred
that
are
reported
by
the
State
Health
Department
in
Monroe
County.
D
As
of
this
morning,
we
had
40
confirmed
positive
cases.
We
know
that
those
are
the
people
who
have
been
tested
and
that
there
are
certainly
other
cases
and
additional
people
in
the
community
who
would
have
infection
and
the
other
things
about
the
dashboard
they.
The
state
is
adding
some
demographics
and
metrics,
and
so
that
will
help
us
look
at
trends
and
things
that
are
going
on
at
a
state
level
and
I
believe
that
they're
going
to
be
adding
some
more
county
data.
So
that
will
be
very
helpful
to
us.
D
No
one
really
knows
exactly
when
it
will
peak,
but
the
state
is
estimating
between
mid
April
and
mid
May,
and
if,
if
we
look
at
kind
of
our
numbers
locally
compared
to
say
Marion
County
we're
probably
one
or
two
weeks
behind
that.
So
we
know
that
it's
coming.
We
know
the
peak
is
coming
and
we
want
everybody
to
do
what
what
the
governor
is
asking
us
to
do
so
that
we
can
slow
this
spread
down.
Dr.
D
Sharpe
or
county
health
officer
has
asked
me
just
to
remind
people
that
it
is
very
important,
as
commissioner
thomas
was
saying,
as
well
to
follow
the
governor's
order,
and
that
is
a
stay
at
home
order,
which
is
essentially
a
core
at
self-quarantine
order
with
the
ability
to
handle
necessary
and
essential
needs.
So
you
can
go
to
the
grocery.
You
can
do
those
kinds
of
things
that
you
need
to
do.
D
We
just
need
to
do
it
in
a
new
and
different
way
and
following
those
distancing
guidelines
and
those
kinds
of
things,
the
stay
at
home
order
is
important
so
that
we
can
slow
the
spread
of
the
virus.
I
do
also
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
things
that
we're
getting
questions
about
and
I
just
want
to
kind
of
go
over
those.
So
in
terms
of
testing,
there
is
a
use
of
virtual
app,
whether
you
use
iu
health
SAP
or
whether
you
use
the
CDC
and
they.
D
Those
apps
are
assessment
tools
and
we
encourage
people
to
use
them.
But
a
test
means
that
you
have
physically
had
a
specimen
taken
by
a
provider
that
sent
off
to
a
lab
for
testing
so
going
through
the
app
and
being
screened,
isn't
the
same
as
being
tested.
The
criteria
for
testing
is
starting
to
loosen
up
a
little
bit,
but
it
is
still
focused
on
those
with
symptoms
and
who
are
high
risk
of
illness,
we're
spreading
the
infection,
so
that
includes
our
healthcare
workers.
It
also
includes
our
first
responders.
D
So
though
there
is
some
change,
that's
coming
and
I.
Think,
as
more
testing
does
become
available,
we
can
see
those
loosen
up
more,
but
not
only
is
testing
somewhat
limited,
but
also
the
supplies
to
take
the
tests
so
that
all
of
those
things
combined
have
made
testing
a
little
more
difficult
in
terms
of
directions
that
people
get
so
keep
in
mind
and
the
easy
way
to
remember
what
isolation
is
is
that
if
you're
in
isolation
you're
ill?
D
So
if
you
are
sick
with
a
confirmed
test
or
you
have
a
pending
test
and
you
have
symptoms,
then
you
would
isolate
until
you're
released
/.
Whatever
those
guidelines
are
at
the
time,
quarantine
would
be
for
those
people
who
may
have
been
exposed,
but
they're
not
showing
symptoms
that
are
consistent
with
kovat
19
and
the
CDC
right
now
is.
If
you
may
have
been
exposed
to
somebody
to
a
possible
case,
then
you
simply
monitor
for
symptoms.
D
In
terms
of
businesses,
the
governor
did
extend
his
order
for
retail
food
establishments
and
there
are
clear
directions
for
local
health
departments
and
how
to
handle
any
non-compliance
with
those
we
are
following
up
with
businesses.
Who
may
be
that
we
may
be
getting
complaints
on
in
terms
of?
Why
are
they
open
or
people
are
gathering
too
much
in
those
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
those
complaints?
But
we
are
getting
some.
D
Again,
as
far
as
patrons,
we
as
patrons
also
need
to
keep
in
mind
that
we
need
to
limit
our
travel,
that
when
we
do
go
to
the
grocery
or
we
need
to
make
some
essential
run
for
something
that
we
go
by
ourselves.
We
don't
take
four
or
five
people
with
us
that
we
go
in.
We
get
what
we
need
and
we
go
back
home
and,
as
commissioner
Thomas
said,
I
think
most
people
are
abiding
by
those
I
want
to
commend
our
community
on
that.
D
But
we
know
that
it's
always
helpful
to
just
have
those
reminders
of.
We
still
need
to
be
doing
those
things
and
where,
if
people
are
concerned
or
unhappy
with
a
business,
then
please
make
sure
that
that
management
knows
so
that
they
can
address
that,
because
sometimes
they
may
not
realize
just
what
what
may
be
going
on
on
a
on
a
floor
of
a
large
space.
So
we
would
encourage
people
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
E
We
are
currently
have
gotten
several
questions
as
to
if
we
will
be
on
a
travel
advisory,
we
are
not
implementing
a
travel
advisory
at
this
time.
As
we've
watched
our
County,
our
citizens
are.
We
feel
that
our
citizens
are
being
very
smart
and
we
continue
to
encourage
our
residents
to
stay
home
unless
you
must
be
out
for
essential
reasons.
E
We
are
currently
collecting
home
made
masks
for
for
our
camp
for
various
County
use,
mostly
social
services,
and
we
have
four
sites
where
those
can
be
collected.
Those
are
on
our
County
website
and
that
website
is
co,
dot,
Monroe
a
n
dot
us
those
four
sites
are
Northern:
Monroe
fire
territory,
station
five
Monroe
Fire
Protection
District
station
21,
Monroe
County
health
clinic,
which
is
located
on
Miller
drive
and
the
Bloomington
Fire
Department
logistics.
Warehouse
and
again,
you
can
find
those
addresses
on
our
County
website
non-related
to
Co
bid,
but
something
I
do
want
to
announce.
E
Is
we
it's?
The
first
Friday
of
the
month,
so
we
are
testing
our
sirens,
our
tornado
sirens,
and
we
just
want
to
make
that
make
that
announcement
just
because
there's
so
many
concerns
with
Co
vid.
So
just
so
you
know
it
is
our
normal
tests.
We
have
a
successful
noon
test
with
all
47
tornado
sirens
being
activated,
and
we
will
have
our
evening
test
again
at
7:00
p.m.
tonight.
E
I
just
also
want
to
mention
that
we
have
such
a
great
deal
of
collaboration
amongst
our
fire
departments,
our
law
enforcement
dispatch,
EMS
Hospital
and
our
health
department,
and
we
have
a
great
collaboration
currently
amongst
the
State
Emergency
Operations
Center
and
our
County
Emergency
Operations
Center
lots
of
moving
parts
happening
within
our
department
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
there's
great
collaboration
amongst
and
and
great
effort
amongst
all
those
partners.
That's
all
I
have
okay.
F
Thank
you
again.
I
would
reiterate
it's
been
said
several
times,
but
I'll
reiterate
that
the
collaboration
has
been
fantastic
and
the
collaboration
is
for
the
best
of
our
citizens.
That's
why
we're
doing
it?
That's
why
we're
in
the
positions
we're
in-
and
we
appreciate
all
that's
going
on
on
the
partnership.
I
want
to
talk
about
three
things
here
quickly.
F
First
of
all,
testing
second
well-being
and
then
some
surge
planning
that
we're
going
through
at
the
hospital
which
you
may
have
heard
about
first
of
all,
I
also
want
to
recognize
all
that
the
restaurants
and
community
groups
and
the
outpouring
of
cards
and
letters
that
we're
getting
from
the
community
to
our
patients
and
our
health
care
workers.
There's
not
a
day
that
goes
by
a
night
that
does
that
goes
by
that
somebody
has
not
delivered
to
to
our
workers,
has
not
been
in.
The
parking
lot
is
not
made
phone
calls.
F
F
We're
also,
you
know,
trying
to
make
sure
we're
taking
care
of
our
our
own
as
well,
and
so
we're
doing
some
good
things
for
our
own
team
members
to
be
sure
they
get
rest
and
it
found
some
places
where
they
can
go
here
in
the
community
partnerships
with
some
local
hotels
and
others
where
we
can
send
our
employees
and
provide
them
a
good
night's
sleep
or
at
least
four
or
five
hours
sleep
in
between
work
that
they're
getting
done.
So
we
appreciate
that
as
well.
F
So,
first
of
all,
let's
talk
about
testing
beginning
today,
Indiana
University
Health
has
expanded
its
covent
testing
and
not
just
IU
health
workers,
health
care
workers
and
the
patients.
But
we
now
have
starting
today
expanded
that
to
our
first
responders,
so
fire
police
in
our
community
and
any
healthcare
worker
in
our
region
who
meets
the
requirements
for
testing.
So
we
still
ask
that
they
use
the
IU
health
hub.
F
They'll
call
that
IU
Health
hub
they'll
be
screened
if
they
meet
criteria,
they'll
get
a
barcode
on
there
phone
or
sent
to
them
by
email,
and
they
will
go
to
the
virtual
hub
and
be
directed
to
that
virtual
hub
to
be
screened,
so
that
is
expanding
as
I
talked
a
couple
times
ago.
In
last
last
news
conference,
there
are
three
phases
of
testing
and
penny
hit
on
this
as
well
phase
one
was
just
our
patients
and
our
health
care
workers
for
IU
health.
F
This
is
full
implementation
of
phase
2,
which
is
all
health
care
workers
and
first
responders
in
our
communities,
and
so
we've
been
able
to
get
enough
testing
media
to
be
able
to
expand
to
that
level.
We
have
been
doing
some
of
that
testing
already
with
our
partners,
but
now
we're
expanding
it
fully
and
making
that
full
announcement
for
everyone
to
who
is
a
healthcare
worker
or
a
first
responder,
to
participate
well
being
the
patient
staff
and
contractor
community.
F
We
want
to
be
sure,
they're
kept
safe,
there's
been
some
questions
around
our
construction
project
and
that
continues
to
happen.
Every
contractor.
We
have
about
450
workers
out
there
on
a
daily
basis
and
every
one
of
them
is
screened
before
they
go
to
work.
We
are
keeping
our
social
distancing
there
and
spacing
out
our
work
so
that
they
do
not
congregate
there
meal
times
and
everything
else
are
spaced
accordingly,
so
that
they
are
safe
and
we
do
send
them
home
if
they
have
in
the
screening
criteria
related
to
the
Cova
virus.
F
One
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
currently
that
we've
had
some
questions
about
is
our
surge
planning.
So
we,
as
penny
was
saying
we
believe
we
are
about
a
week
behind
where
Indianapolis
is,
and
so
we
have
been
blessed
to
have
that
extra
week
or
so
to
follow
their
lead
and
to
be
able
to
practice
and
surge.
Just
in
the
past
48
hours,
we
have
had
no
less
than
four
surge,
drills
and
actually
just
finished
one
as
I
was
getting
on.
F
This
call
to
be
sure
we're
not
missing
any
gaps,
and
what
does
that
mean?
That
means
that
Bedford
Paoli
Morgan
hospitals,
all
of
our
southern
Indiana
physicians
and
Bloomington
Hospital.
We
keep
testing
what
happens
when
we
get
50
patients
in
our
emergency
department.
What
happens
if
a
nursing
home
has
12
patients
that
get
sick
and
they
need
to
send
them
to
Bedford?
F
So
we've
been
able
to
train
and
retrain
some
nurses,
technicians
and
physicians,
who
haven't
done
some
of
this
for
a
while,
and
so
we've
been
able
to
retrain
them
and
get
them
acclimated
to
the
hospital
environment
again
and
to
other
environments
where
they
can
be
a
top
notch
in
their
skills,
as
we
need
to
search
up
for
the
number
of
patients
that
we
take.
Care
of.
F
We
are
very
grateful
to
state
officials
who
have
combined
efforts,
along
with
the
Indiana
Hospital
Association,
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
plenty
of
personal
protective
equipment
in
our
state,
ventilators
ICU
rooms,
all
of
those
things
that
are
based
on
the
models
that
the
state
is
using
for
planning
for
these.
You
know
eight
to
twelve
weeks
of
this
virus,
a
surge
up
and
and
the
slide
back
down
so
the
capacity
for
patients.
We
will
continue
to
fluctuate.
I
can
say
you
know
in
March
13th,
when
we
really
started
seeing
Kovac
patients
coming
to
our
Hospital.
F
We
have,
you
know
seen
that
that
same
increase
in
the
curve
that
others
have
seen
it
from
around
the
nation
and
continue
to
see
that
increase
every
day,
and
so
we
still
continue
to
be
on
incident
command
24/7,
where
we
have
all
our
branch
commanders
on
site,
and
we
have
the
ability
at
anytime
to
call
everyone
together
and
talk
through
any
concerns
or
questions
that
we
have.
So
if
we
feel
very
well-prepared
at
this
point
and
feel
like
and
know
that
we've
got
everything
we
need
for
the
search
at
this
point
all.
B
G
Thanks
Chuck,
like
the
others,
I
appreciate
all
the
cooperation
working
together.
We
for
IU,
we
have.
Our
executive
policy
group
continues
to
meet
and
that's
led
by
president
McRobbie.
We've
continued
our
incident
management
teams
that
have
been
in
place.
We
are
now
in
day
67
of
our
incident
management
teams
and
many
of
the
folks
on
here.
G
One
of
the
things
that
mayor
Hamilton
mentioned
I'll
also
mentioned.
We,
our
police
departments,
are
have
teamed
up
and
responding
to
you
know
off-campus
parties
or
runs
that
may
be
called
in
in
reference
to
lack
of
social
distancing
in
terms
of
the
governor's
order.
We'll
continue
to
do
that
or
we
always.
We
always
work
well
together.
We're
not
only
doing
that
here
in
Bloomington,
but
we
have
key
partnerships
and
working
with
the
Gary
Police
Department
and
Navas
Indianapolis
Metropolitan,
Police,
Department
and
other
smaller
jurisdictions,
where
the
IU
police
department
is
located
on
all
seven
campuses.
G
We'll
continue
those
partnerships.
We've
also
have
a
great
partnership
with
Monroe
County
working
with
them,
our
environmental,
health
and
safety,
and
our
IU
Health
Center
and
reporting
cases
and
suspected
cases
and
working
on
testing
and
contact
tracing
when
needed.
So
we
continue
to
do
that
and
we'll
work
together
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
individual.
G
You
know
it's
widely
expected
that
the
governor
will
extend
to
stay
at
home
order,
and
we
may
know
that
here
late
today
or
sometime
soon,
but
our
stay
away
from
campus
order
is
independent
of
the
governor's
order.
So
we've
asked
our
faculty
staff
and
students,
except
for
essential
employees,
to
stay
away
from
our
campuses
and
all
seven
campuses
and
independent
of
the
governor's
order.
That
is
until
further
notice
from
our
executive
policy
group
and
president
McRobbie.
G
So
we'll
continue
to
message
that
we
send
out
several
public
safety
advisories
all
the
time
to
remind
faculty
staff
and
students.
What's
going
on
in
our
planning
and
efforts
around
our
Cova
19
response.
The
last
thing
I'll
mention
a
large
effort
amongst
the
Indiana
community
is
the
need
and
procurement
of
PPE
personal
protective
equipment.
G
Just
like
any
entity.
We
we've
been
trying
to
procure
that
we've
worked.
We
donated
twenty
thousand
in
ninety
five
to
the
IU
Health
supply
chain,
so
that
was
done
last
week.
We
also
donated
ten
thousand
and
ninety
five
to
the
state
strategic
stockpile
as
well,
and
we've
done
additional
donations
of
supplies
to
Monroe
County.
Also,
the
city
of
Gary
worked
with
the
Indiana
State
Police,
smaller
donations,
to
make
sure
that
folks
have
that
equipment.
G
I
know,
there's
an
effort
amongst
the
state
to
get
our
procurement
folks
together
to
try
to
do
that
and
coordinate
those
purchases,
and
we
most
certainly
will
try
to
participate
in
that,
but
it
is
increasingly
hard
to
get
those
stockpiles
and
we're
making
sure
our
I
you
Health
Center,
our
campus
health
centers
and
our
first
responders
within
the
IU
system,
are
adequately
supplied
as
well.
So
as
that
continues
to
play
out,
we'll
continue
to
appreciate
everyone's
partnership
and
effort
in
that
front.
B
A
A
Our
Utilities
Department
has
changed
the
way
all
the
utilities,
workers
and
transmission
and
distribution
are
working,
they're,
never
assembling.
They
used
to
assemble
in
large
groups,
they
no
never
more
than
five
or
six
in
a
very
large
staging
area
and
warehouse
Police
Department
has
eliminated
role.
A
I
would
note
also
yes,
personal
protective
equipment
is
particularly
has
been
in
place,
particularly
for
police
and
fire,
as
they
have
by
necessity,
interactions
with
the
public.
You
probably
know
as
well
that
our
dispatch
protocol
for
a
couple
plus
weeks
now
has
included
any
time
a
9-1-1
call
comes
in
where
appropriate.
There
are
additional
questions
asked
of
the
caller
to
try
to
determine
whether
there's
a
covin
19
risk
for
the
for
the
responders
to
that,
whether
it's
EMS
fire
police
and
we'll
continue
to
monitor.
A
B
From
Dave
asked
Square
beacon
a
question
for
Brian
shocked
me
cook
medical
indicated
last
week.
They
were
talking
to
IU
Health
by
using
their
sterilization
facilities
to
sterilize
masks,
so
that
good
masks
can
be
reused.
Has
that
proved
to
be
workable
and
he
says,
there's
anecdotal
reports
of
not
enough
masks
at
Bloomington
Hospital.
Can
any
health
worker
at
the
hospital
get
a
mask
if
they
need
one?
Yes,.
F
Let
me
just
the
first
question
regarding
cook:
that's
been
a
great
partnership
pto
and
reached
out
to
us
early
on
in
this
event
and
said:
hey:
how
do
we
ensure
that
we
work
together
in
this
crisis
and
they
thought
they
had
a
way
to
be
able
to
basically
decontaminate
mask
and
make
them
actually
better
than
their
coat
when
they
come
to
you
out
of
the
box
from
the
manufacturer
more
sterile?
Actually,
that
process
is
working
very
well.
F
They
are
doing
the
final
testing
on
that
and
we
hope
to
have
an
announcement
here
pretty
soon
within
the
next
twenty
to
four
to
forty
eight
hours.
Regarding
the
Reese
terrorization
of
those
masks,
we
are
very
lucky
and
very
blessed
in
this.
Can
you
have
to
cook
medical
who
can
put
their
engineers
to
work
and
make
this
happen
so
that
that
is
going
forward?
Everything
that
we've
trialed
everything
today
it
looks
like
it's
going
to
work.
F
We
just
have
to
be
sure
that
FDA
blesses
it
and
we
can
demonstrate
that
we
can
do
this
on
a
ongoing
basis,
as
we
see
it
now
with
the
FDA
once
the
FDA
approval
is
done,
their
capacity
would
be
not
just
for
this
region,
but
also
for
all
of
IU
Health
to
help
support
the
rese
terrorization
and
mask
which
would
be
at
a
higher
sterilization
rate
than
what
we're
getting
from
a
factory
out
of
the
box.
So
the
second
question
regarding
PPE,
so
we
do
have
plenty
of
PPE
for
our
employees
even
in
the
surge.
F
There
was
some
confusion
in
our
communication
regarding
why
we
wanted
to
people
to
conserve.
So
CDC
guidelines
are
what
we
follow,
and
so
we
want
to
be
sure
that
we're
good
stewards,
it's
one
of
our
good
stewards
of
resource
and
good
resources,
and
so
we
issue
those
masks,
whether
they're,
surgical,
masks
or
they're
n95
masks
to
an
individual,
it's
their
individual
mask,
and
then
they
wear
that
through
their
shift.
If
that
mask
becomes
soiled,
then
they
take
it
off.
F
But
what
we
didn't
want
happening
is
people
continually
I
go
to
the
cafeteria
I
go
somewhere
else
and
I'm
continually
taking
off
my
mask
and
throwing
it
away.
Those
masks
all
masks
and
all
PPE,
except
for
certain
PPE
can
be
used
for
the
entire
shift.
If
it's
not
soiled,
so
we
want
to
be
sure
that
we're
good
stewards
of
the
resources,
because
we
have
other
people
as
we've
gotten
in
95s
from
the
school
corporation
we've
got
PPE
from
my
indiana
university.
F
It's
been
great,
the
supply
that
we've
been
got
we've
been
given
and
that
supply
has
made
us
to
the
point
where
we
don't
have
any
concerns
regarding
PPE.
However,
we
do
not
know
what
surge
we're
going
to
hit
just
as
New
York
did
not
know,
and
others
did
not
know.
We
feel
pretty
good
about
it,
but
we
can't
be
too
careful,
and
so
we
would
be.
F
We
would
be
foolish
if
we
loosened
our
standards
beyond
CDC
standards
of
use
of
protective
equipment,
and
so
that's
why
we
have
said
we're
going
to
use
according
to
CDC
guidelines,
and
you
know
if
your
mass
becomes
soiled
or
if
your
clothes
become
soiled.
We
will
follow
the
guidelines
that
way,
but
we
will
not.
F
We
cannot
keep
throwing
away
maths
and
PPE
when
others
are
going
short
and
we
may
at
some
point
need
to
share
with
others
besides
IU
health
facilities,
and
so
that,
that's
where
the
confusion,
we
believe
started
that
we
do
have
plenty
of
PPE
and
IU
Health
was
able
to
just
recently
get
new
shipments
of
PPE
for
our
entire
organization.
So
we're
feeling
very,
very
good
about
it,
but
again
being
very
conservative
and
good
stewards
of
the
resource.
B
Another
question
from
de
appear
on
the
topic
of
testing:
only
278
koban
19
tests
have
been
done
in
Monroe
County.
According
to
the
ISD
H
there
have
there
been
any
collaborative
efforts
between
biochemistry
laboratory
the
Indiana,
University
and
IU
Health
to
explore
the
use
of
those
lab
facilities
for
testing,
or
is
there
some
other
limiting
factor
that
those
labs
can't
help
with.
F
B
To
that
point
too,
we
clearly
are
not
going
to
get
to
everybody's
question
here
and
we
will
try
to
follow
up
with
answers
on
Facebook
afterwards,
as
well.
So
Ethan
Burke's
from
wtiu
wfiu
says
asks
this.
Several
medical
experts
and
organizations
have
said
the
best
way
to
treat
patients
is
to
test
them
for
the
virus,
isolate
them
and
then
identify
everyone
they
come
into
contact
with
is
Bloomington
Monroe
County,
taking
the
same
approach
a.
D
I
can
answer
that
to
some
degree,
I
think
in
an
ideal
situation.
I
would
definitely
agree
with
that.
Ideally,
regardless
of
what
communicable
disease
we're
talking
about
to
be
able
to
test
people
and
deal
with
you
know
those
test
results
in
those
close
contacts
and
and
do
that
contact
tracing
is
the
ideal.
When
testing
and
testing
medium
the
supplies
to
take
the
test
is
in
short
supply.
Then
then
you
just
can't
do
that,
and
so
that's
what's
happening
here.
We
are
doing
the
contact
tracing.
A
D
A
B
Okay
and
another
question
that
Ethan
has
for
Brian:
what's
the
status
on
the
drive
through
testing
site
at
the
Bloomington
hospital,
they
also
asks
what's
the
status
on
construction
of
the
new
Bloomington
Hospital
site?
Could
it
be
finished
sooner
than
expected
and
help
out
during
the
pandemic?
And
before
you
answer,
let
me
throw
in
another
question:
I
saw
it
came
in
on
Facebook
earlier
sort
of
related
asking
about
how
the
construction
on
the
hospital
is
continuing
and
why
that
is
deemed
as
an
essential
service
right
now,.
F
So
as
far
as
the
constructional
into
that
at
first,
we
continue
to
do
construction.
They
we
are
on
schedule
and
on
time.
Why
is
that
continuing?
Because
we
do
have
sorry
for
the
sirens,
and
so
we
do
have
a
deadline
to
meet
there
as
well.
We
part
of
you
know,
there's
two
things
going
on
here:
one
as
we
fight
this
pandemic.
We
talk
to
our
employees
about
you,
know
we're
working
into
two
columns
here,
two
lanes
and
there
has
to
be
some
normality
to
what
we're
doing.
F
And
while
we
have
you
know
ninety
percent
of
our
efforts
toward
the
köppen
19
virus
and
this
pandemic,
we
we
do
have
meetings.
We
still
have
our
Friday
morning
meetings
regarding
the
construction,
and
that
brings
some
normality
to
this
to
this
time
in
our
lives
and
the
construction
site.
We
continue
to
keep
that
moving
forward
because
we
have
all
the
supplies.
We
also
want
to
keep
people
working
and
with
the
governor
saying
that
that
is
construction
is
one
of
those
areas
that
can
move
forward.
F
We
want
to
make
sure
people
continue
to
be
employed
and
and
provide
for
their
families,
and
so
that
that's
part
of
this
and
we're
being
very
smart
about
it
as
we're
screening
every
person
who's
coming
to
that
site,
as
I
said
before.
So
you
know,
we
really
want
to
be
sure
that
that
we
keep
that
moving
forward
for
our
community
as
well
and
I
will
say
that
our
facilities,
the
reason
we're
building
that
is,
our
facilities
are
tired
here
in
Bloomington
and
every
day
is
the
challenge
for
these.
F
F
The
the
yellow
tent
outside
the
IDI
is
for
our
emergency
were
in
patients
or
patients
who
are
referred
to
the
hospital
for
testing
by
a
doctor's
order,
and
we
test
them
there
and
then
take
them
through
the
emergency
room,
and
we
have
negative
pressure
and
all
the
other
precautions
that
we
need
there,
so
that
that
is
no
longer
the
testing
site,
where
the
virtual
hub,
if
you
call
into
virtual
hub
or
go
to
online,
to
the
virtual
hub
but
you'll,
be
sent
actually
there's
an
the
other
testing
site
as
they
drive
through
testing
site
and
that's
where
people
actually
stay
in
their
car.
F
B
Okay,
so
very
quickly
running
out
of
time,
but
don't
try
to
squeeze
one
more
in
here.
This
is
for
mayor,
Hamilton
and
and
I
would
say
Ben.
How
will
I
you
in
the
Bloomington
police
handle
large
group
meetings
that
many
have
been
seeing
on
porches
in
front
yards
around
town?
What
will
the
enforcement
look
like
I'll.
A
Just
say
quickly
will
stop
large
group
meetings.
We
appreciate
reports
of
those
when
people
see
them
as
Ben
hunter
said:
I
you
and
and
IU
police
and
Bloomington
police
have
kind
of
divvied
up
the
community
and
in
terms
of
her
geographic
areas,
to
respond
to
please
let
us
know.
If
you
see
such
a
thing,
not
only
will
the
police
respond,
but
they'll
also
engage
in
a
very
active
way,
and
we
appreciate
that
the
IU
Dean
of
Students
reaching
out
to
students
for
that
and
if.
A
G
Would
echo
that
IU
police
will
respond?
We've
been
in
daily
contact
with
BPD
and
GT
cough
one
of
the
avenues
that
we
most
certainly
have.
The
mayor
mentioned
as
well
as
Student
Conduct,
and
so
if
they
are
students
that
are
living
in
off-campus
housing
and
they
are
because
some
of
them
are
not
breaking
their
lease
and
they've
signed.
G
These
leases
that
they're
going
to
continue
to
stay
in
the
IU
community
if
they're
holding
these
gatherings
and
they
violate
the
governor's
order,
we
will
respond
and
we
appreciate
those
calls
the
collaboration
and
we
will
hold
our
students
accountable,
and
the
Dean
of
Students
is
doing
just
that.
Okay,.
B
We
are
really
pretty
much
out
of
time
again.
We
will
try
to
get
to
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
have
been
submitted
and
we
haven't
been
able
to
answer
here,
live
in
responses
on
Facebook
afterwards,
but
we
appreciate
your
time
and
then
next
week
we
will
be
back
again
same
time
and
we
will
send
out
an
advisory
again,
but
it
is
likely
to
be
the
same
zoom
address
as
well.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
thanks
everybody
for
being
here,
Thank
You
Chuck
for
coordinating.
