Clinton County Commissioners Order County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Activated In Response To COVID-19 Pandemic

Published on

Clinton County COVID-19 Press Release

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic the Board of Clinton Commissioners instructed, via executive order, Clinton County Emergency Management Director Darrell Sanders to implement the County’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Director Sanders will activate and deactivate the portions of the CEMP that are needed to respond to the rapidly changing situation. Currently the Communications and the Health and Medical portions of the plan have been activated by the EMA Director. Clinton County Central Dispatch Director Renee Crick is in charge of the Communications portion, and Clinton County Health Department Administrator Rodney Wann is in charge of the Health and Medical portion.

It is important to note that the CEMP also includes all City of Frankfort Agencies and the input of Frankfort Mayor Judith Sheets. As we always have, everyone is working together for our community.

As of right now there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Clinton County. As more testing becomes available that statistic is likely to change. Dr. Tharp and Dana Longenecker of the Clinton County Board of Health have been working to make testing more readily available in Clinton County. The Clinton County Council took emergency action yesterday to make sure the funding is in place to be used to purchase tests if need be.

We would like to again ask that all citizens of Clinton County continue to adhere to the guidelines that have been issued by the President Trump, Governor Holcomb, and the CDC. The more stringently we adhere to recommendations the sooner we will defeat COVID-19.

One more thing, please resists the temptation and refrain from going to our local stores and hoarding items that everyone needs. We’ve said it before and it needs to be reiterated, that type of behavior has no place in modern civilized society. We all have families to look out for, but we also need to look out for each other.

Best regards,

Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana’s Retail Store Sales Floors Will Be Closed To Shoppers

Published on

Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana’s Retail Store sales floors will be closed to shoppers, effective Friday, March 20, and until further notice.

We will continue to accept donations during limited hours of 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday-Saturday, and 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Sunday.

This situation is unlike anything our community has ever faced. Our first concern is the well-being of our employees, many of whom came to work for Goodwill because of an employment barrier that made finding a job elsewhere difficult, if not impossible.

The inability to operate our Retail sales floors has a significant impact on our entire organization. Over the next week, we are building a plan on how we can best move forward in the best interests of our employees and all those whom we serve. We are working with affected employees to help them access information on their health and wellness benefits, while proactively working to reduce or remove barriers to any additional services they may need.

We urge Hoosiers to continue donating their unwanted items in the coming weeks. Goodwill associates will unload items from cars, without our donors having to exit their vehicles. Donors are also welcome to park and bring items to the donation door, while maintaining sufficient distance from Goodwill employees and each other.

Thank you for your support for Goodwill. Together, we will continue to achieve our mission of helping to change lives every day by empowering people to increase their independence and reach their potential. We will continue to post updates at goodwillindy.org.
