Dear HealthStreet Members,

This is our fifth newsletter supplement focused on helping you navigate resources for COVID-19. In this issue, we are focusing on updated HealthStreet drive-up hours for essential items, as well as pharmacy, meal, restaurant and grocery delivery services.

Clothing, Toiletry, and Naloxone Drive-Up Hours

Clothing and Toiletry Necessities
We want to ensure you have the items necessary to maintain good personal health and hygiene. Taking this commitment seriously, we will be hosting outside drive-up hours for toiletry and clothing items. We will be updating these hours weekly, as they will vary based on staff availability.

Free Naloxone To Save Lives
We still remain committed to providing this powerful medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose during drive-up hours. We will be updating these hours weekly, as they will vary based on staff availability.

• Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects daily (tables, countertops, light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles)

• If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent and water prior to disinfection.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
