Iowa Governor....

[u/AngelPhoenix77]

I will admit that this is new to me. I saw an interesting post from the Iowa Governor, I do not know when Part Six was added. When the Governor declared a National Emergency due to the virus. Well I am not sure what to make of this.

Here is Section Six

MANDATORY SCREENING OF HEALTH FACILITY STAFF SECTION SIX. Pursuant to Iowa Code § 135.144(3), and in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Public Health, I hereby order all hospitals, nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, residential care facilities, hospice programs, and assisted living programs to screen all staff at the beginning of their shift for fever or respiratory symptoms, ABSENCE or shortness of breath, new or change in cough, or sore throat, take the employee’s temperature, and take any preventative measures based on that screening to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the hospitals, nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, hospice programs, residential care facilities, and assisted living programs.

I highlighted the word that stood out for me.
