MPC Statement Regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The MPC is committed to following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as it relates to health protection.

We ask that all residents, visitors, staff and volunteer board members follow the CDC recommendations below:

  • Follow the CDC’s recommendation regarding Social distancing.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • Adopt alternative greetings that do not require touch such as waving while smiling rather than shaking hands (social distancing).
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Use a hand sanitizer, if available.
  • Have an adequate supply of prescription, medications and nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand such as pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins. Have a thermometer, tissues, soap, and hand sanitizer.
  • Have extra non-perishable food items at home.
  • For additional information, please see the CDC website.

    We are encouraging everyone to remain diligent in following the guidance listed above. Additionally, we have asked that any staff member who believes they may have had contact with someone with the virus take the appropriate isolation/quarantine measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others.

    To help prevent the spread of germs, staff will continue to maintain our standards of cleanliness and follow CDC protocols and directions using disinfecting cleaning agents to frequently clean and disinfect high-touch common area surfaces including but not limited to: tabletops, hard-back chairs, doorknobs, light switches, handles, toilets, sinks, desktops, counters, telephones, and remote controls.

    The MPC will remain open for business unless and until mandated to do otherwise by local, state or federal authorities. We will continue to monitor Federal, State and Local agency recommendations, and will keep you informed of additional updates as they arise.

    Sincerely,

    Melanie Wilson, Executive Director

    Joseph Ervin, Chairman
