While Coronavirus continues to spread, we must take preventative measure to keep ourselves safe as well as others. This includes wearing a mask and social distancing but also keeping yourself healthy. Incorporate these tips shared by @who

Phase 1b of Connecticut’s COVID-19 vaccine rollo

Phase 1b of Connecticut’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout starts Monday January 18th. This allows Connecticut residents over the age of 75 to schedule appointments to receive the vaccine.

You must make an appointment prior to receiving the vaccine. You can go to www.ct.gov/covidvaccine or call Connecticut’s COVID Vaccine Appointment Assistance Line at 877-918-2224.

Within the next few weeks, phase 1b will expand to include residents between the ages of 65-74 as well as residents from 16-64 who have underlying health conditions that put them at greater risk for the virus.

Remember, you still need to be diligent. Wear a mask. Practice social distancing and wash hands.

Staying home is the best way to stay safe and keep

Staying home is the best way to stay safe and keep others safe. Currently in Darien, there have been 104 cases reported since December 24, 40 of which have been within the past week. These numbers are significantly high. Stay home as much as possible, and when you leave your house, wear a mask and stay distanced from others. The virus is not going away, only getting worse. Do your part to make our town safe.

Be safe this holiday season by doing your best to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Celebrate at home with the people in your immediate household. However, if you choose to host people or go to someone else’s gathering, here are tips to be as safe as possible:

⁃    Social distance by staying 6 ft. apart from anyone who does not live with you
    ⁃    Wear a mask
    ⁃    Wash your hands and avoid touching your face as much as possible
    ⁃    Be outside as much as possible
    ⁃    Bring your own food, drinks, plates, cups, and utensils
    ⁃    Avoid gathering in the area where food will be prepared
    ⁃    Limit the number of guests
    ⁃    Have extra masks for others

Lastly, if you or a family member feels sick, stay home! @cdcgov

This week’s First Responder Friday is Tate Hanso

This week’s First Responder Friday is Tate Hanson! Tate is currently the VP of Operations, This means he is responsible for managing all our vehicles, our headquarters, overseeing our driver training program, and more. Tate is constantly working for us, even when he is not on duty and we are so happy to have him as such an important part of the organization.

Outside of Post, you may see Tate working at Danny’s Cycles, and he is a Boy Scout.

Tate’s favorite part of the ambulance is the siren and he always gets pizza with his crew when on duty.

Tate loves that he is always able to be around friends at the building, go on a wide variety of calls, and lastly, he loves teaching other members how to drive the ambulance.

ICU beds are filling up in nearby hospitals and in Fairfield County, almost 20% of those in the ICU are COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 is and has been extremely pressing on hospital resources. This ultimately could affect you or loved ones if hospitalized by COVID-19 or even for another reason. Do your part to protect yourself, protect others, and to help hospitals. Wear a mask and social distance.

67 cases have been reported in Darien in the last

67 cases have been reported in Darien in the last 14 days and because of this, Darien’s rolling average is 26/100,000 which makes us a red alert town.

We must make changes immediately including
⁃ Those who are 65+ or at high risk should stay home in order to stay safe
⁃ Limit trips outside your home
⁃ Avoid gatherings with non-family members
⁃ Do not engage in indoor activities/ social gatherings (under Governor Lamont’s phase 2.1 guidance which we are in now, indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to 10 people)
⁃ Mask wearing will be mandatory when in public

Stay home and with your family members in order to stay safe. Darien’s increasing COVID-19 cases rate has not been this extreme since late March. If we follow preventative measures as a community, we can lower the number or cases.
