Kitchen Angels wants you to stay as healthy as possible.  This is especially important as our community prepares for the possible spread of COVID-19, a respiratory illness caused by something called a novel corona virus.  The virus was first detected in China this past December.  Right now, there is no vaccine to prevent COVID-19.

We’ve always taken our kitchen practices very seriously to make sure our clients receive the freshest, safest and most nutritious meals possible.  Right now, we’re being even more vigilant to make sure you continue to receive your meals regularly and on time.

 Here’s what you can do to help us make sure that happens:

• If you’re worried about the possibility of exposure to the virus, when your delivery driver arrives, you can ask them to leave your meal at your door.  It’s important you verbally acknowledge that you are home because drivers cannot leave meals unattended.  As long as they know you’re home, it’ll be OK.  If you let Janette know you’ll be doing this, she’ll tell your delivery driver.
• Call Jeanette and let her know if you DO NOT HAVE freezer capacity and can keep frozen meals.  We may need to shift to delivering more frozen meals, depending on how things develop. 

Kitchen Angels has always been there for you and we intend to keep that promise. 

If you want more information about the virus or COVID-19, the New Mexico Department of Health has a site with the latest information on COVID-19 activity and up-to-date treatment information, as well as links to other sites including the US Centers for Disease Control and Surveillance.  In addition, here is a short video from the World Health Organization that offers some easy to understand information on COVID-19.
