    Employee Health Screenings

    All employees are asked to self-screen for symptoms of COVID-19 before leaving for each shift, upon arriving at their EVPL location, during their shift, and at the end of their shift. Symptom lists have been provided to all staff through multiple
    avenues, including posted signage, personal self-scan lists, as well as through email and on
    EVPL’s employee site. Employees who have identified symptoms, or who have had known close contact with a person who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19, are asked to notify their supervisor and leave EVPL premises.

    Cleaning and Disinfecting Protocol

    Personal Protective Equipment, COVID-19-recommended cleaning solutions, and additional cleaning and disinfectant products have been purchased and are being utilized to clean library locations and materials. Upon consulting with the Vanderburgh County Health Department, as well as following the guidance of local, state, and government officials, EVPL has implemented extensive multi-step processes for quarantining materials and cleaning of materials and other surfaces. EVPL staff have been provided with specialized training on the proper care and cleaning of materials and surfaces to ensure the health and safety of themselves, EVPL locations, and our community. Employees are required to watch training videos on: how to properly wash your hands, how to properly wear your mask, how to properly dispose of gloves, how to practice social distancing, and how to clean materials.

If at any time an employee is uncomfortable due to an individual’s lack of social distancing practices, they are encouraged to politely speak up or speak to their supervisor.

    All employees have been provided with a three-layer, reusable cloth mask and are highly encouraged to properly wear the
    covering at all times.

    EVPL would like to share how we are addressing concerns over Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our public spaces:

    • Elevated cleaning measures in all our buildings
    • Signs in public spaces to remind staff and library users of proper hand and respiratory hygiene (from the CDC).
      • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
      • Use tissues and throw them away.
      • Wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer every time you touch your mouth or nose.
    • We have encouraged staff to stay home if they feel ill or are experiencing symptoms.

    Additionally, please remember that libraries are shared public spaces. For the health and safety of others, please be thoughtful about coming into an EVPL location if you are exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms.

    COVID-19 Symptoms

    The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.

    • Fever
    • Cough
    • Shortness of breath

    Steps to Prevent Illness

    There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.

    The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

    • Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
    • Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

    These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

    Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is making updates to its website as new information becomes available. You can sign up to receive updates by email.

    If you experience symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath and have a recent history of travel to China or contact with someone suspected of having COVID-19 please contact the ISDH Epidemiology Resource Center:

    US Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
    The CDC works to protect America from health, safety and security threats, including fighting diseases and supporting communities and citizens to do the same.

    World Health Organization (WHO)
    The WHO works worldwide to promote health and safety by identifying and responding to health emergencies, especially in vulnerable communities.
