The idea is to let people out for a period of time, then quarantine for a <br /> period of time until we build up an immunity or a vaccine can be created. <br /> • Dove - Has been in touch with Command about high-density housing complexes and <br /> what the BoH would do if someone tested positive. Their concern is that it would be <br /> difficult to quarantine the whole complex and provide essentials like food and <br /> medicine. The list from Chief Burns includes 80 buildings that range from 4-68 units. <br /> Their recommendation is to order the building managers to regularly clean the <br /> common areas. <br /> ., Sexton - Asked who it would fall under to enforce that managers comply, <br /> most likely the health department. <br /> Shonkoff - Was the concern that we can't enforce a total quarantine? <br /> • Dove - No, it's more being able to supply essential needs. <br /> o Sexton - We can make the infected individuals quarantine in their units <br /> though. <br /> • Sexton - Asked if we are updating the total cases list both ways? Taking people off <br /> of it and putting them on it? <br /> o Vlasuk - Yes, but none have come off the list as yet. <br /> • Dove - Our new nurse will be scheduled for ten hours a week. Will she be available <br /> for more than that? <br /> o Delios - We've asked her to do that and she said she would work more than <br /> the ten hours. <br /> Delios - We have had a back-up plan in place for several weeks in the event <br /> that the Malden nurse can no longer help us. We are using the school nurse <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
