No face to face
 

To whom it may concern:

I am composing this comment to inform anyone in authority that I believe wholeheartedly this is a horrible idea for face to face service facilitator visits. We are a family with two people on waivers who both receive 8 hours of care a day. I work very hard as the sole caregiver presently as we are having a difficult time finding additional caregivers due to the pandemic. Covid has been in my household already three times causing severe complications to my family. This is just not acceptable to put sick people in danger when covid is still very active in the community. I hope that somebody really reconsiders this because there will be a lot of deathly ill people in the near upcoming future when allowing a service facilitator to travel from home to home potentially infecting dozens of already ill people.
