Be aware that criminals are attempting to exploit COVID-19 worldwide through a variety of scams. There have been reports of individuals and businesses selling fake cures for COVID-19 online and engaging in other forms of fraud, Phishing emails from entities posing as the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Malicious websites and apps that appear to share virus-related information to gain and lock access to your devices until payment is received, and seeking donations fraudulently for illegitimate or non-existent charitable organizations.

If you think you are a victim of a scam or attempted fraud involving COVID-19, you can report it without leaving your home. Contact the National Center for Disaster Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721 or via email at disaster@leo.gov.

Center Activity Update June 04, 2020

A NOTE FROM KAREN METZGUER, NURSE & DIRECTOR

Fearrington Cares Center remains closed for 2 reasons: state guidance related to COVID-19 and to complete our building renovations.

President Barbara Hummel-Rossi provided a summary of our building progress to the community in an email 2 weeks ago; this summary currently found on our website under "Building Updates."

The heart of Fearrington Cares is our 250+ Volunteers, the majority of whom are considered high risk if infected with the Corona virus. Additionally, 100% of our services put a Volunteer within 6 feet of you; this is the minimum distance recommended for physical distancing. For these reasons, Fearrington Cares traditional services are currently suspended.

I describe Fearrington Cares as a "high touch not a high tech" organization. Unable to perform our services during the NC stay at home executive orders, on my recommendation, the staff and I have been furloughed for the past 2 months. I am writing a proposal for steps to begin reopening when the building is completed and we are allowed to use it. You are still "safer at home" and I hope you are limiting your outings and using masks.

Fearrington Cares services that are most valued by the community do not lend themselves to the digital world. However, we now have movement classes and a support group online; information about them is on our home page. We are loaning equipment, picking up prescriptions and groceries. We will have the health and safety of our Volunteers and all residents at the forefront of the challenging decisions we are making.

Our website is a great resource for new classes and meetings we are adding to our virtual programming.

Check out the digital services available while the Center remains closed.
