As MBHA prepares to reopen the business office on June 1st, we want to ensure you are aware of the changes we’ve made to be in line with government and CDC guidelines for safe and responsible business practices (https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/responsible-restart-ohio/responsible-protocols/responsible-protocols).  Below is an overview of the new MBHA procedures and expectations during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

General MBHA COVID-19 Pandemic Reopening Procedures as of June 1, 2020:

• Anyone entering the MBHA office must wear a mask at all times and must confirm they do not have a fever by taking their temperature prior to entering the office.

• MBHA employees will be sanitizing the office between clients and throughout the work day in an effort to reduce the risk of exposure to disease.

• Hand washing, sanitizing, and social distancing will be followed by all MBHA employees and is expected of all who enter the MBHA building.

• MBHA will contact both the local health department and anyone who has been in the office of any known or suspected exposure to a case of COVID-19.  MBHA employees will self-quarantine for two weeks after the known or suspected exposure.

Client- specific Expectations: 

• Clients will remain in their cars until they are contacted by their MBHA therapist and invited in.

• If a client has a scheduled appointment at MBHA and begins to experience COVID-19 or other illness symptoms (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html), that client agrees to contact MBHA and change the appointment to telehealth.

• If a client develops symptoms of COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html) within two weeks of being in the MBHA office, that client agrees to notify MBHA so contact tracing can begin.
