(COVID-19) Guidance for Residents of Kentucky
From: Kellie McCain, Executive Director of the CCDDRe: CCDD and the COVID-19 VirusWe know that many people are concerned about the COVID-19 virus and the impact it has on all Kentuckians. Governor Beshear is holding daily press conferences and has set up a website and virus hotline. I would like to share with you a "COVID-19 Information By and For People with Disabilities" resource guide written by the Maryland Green Mountain Self-Advocates that you can share with self-advocates and people around you. Please stay updated with the most recent information provided by the Governor and the CDC.
All future public Council meetings will be held through teleconferencing until we are cleared from the Governor’s office to have in-person meetings again. Currently, our office remains open. All staff has the technology to work remotely in the event we need to take that step. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
