“The reality is that COVID-19 is changing all of our lives. As that happens, however, one thing is clear: Affordable and secure housing for our community members is more critical now than it has ever been. This is an opportunity, amid the chaos, to come together to collaborate on one of Chaffee’s most pressing needs.”
Becky Gray
Director, Chaffee Office of Housing
“Right now, due to limited supplies of testing kits and personal protective equipment, testing needs to be focused on the people who are the most at-risk from this disease and the people in charge of caring for and keeping the rest of us safe. It’s important to protect the most critical element of the healthcare system.We are working hard to get the supplies and capacity to move to broader public testing, but until then our message remains the same: if you have only mild symptoms, self-isolate and don’t wait for a test.”
Scott Bookman,
CDPHE COVID-19 Incident Commander.
