Effective immediately, our professional learning opportunities will resume full capacity registration and use of the agency’s conference rooms. GHAEA encourages you to take measures you believe best to protect yourself and those with whom you come in contact from the spread of COVID-19.
We will continue to clean all offices regularly, and we will reassess the need for routine, deep-cleaning efforts on June 30.
We will continue to update and track COVID-19 data for each county through June 30, as we will want to keep an eye on a possible resurgence of cases. If a county were to move into RED/RED status, we would verify with CDC on recommendations for office status at that time.
