On Sunday, November 22, we learned that a person affiliated with Heart to Hand has tested positive for COVID-19. It’s important that we preserve their privacy so we cannot disclose their name. We can tell you that their last time in the office was 11/19. The person has reported that they did not come into close contact with any customers or clients since being in the office and followed all precautions while in the office.
When a person tests positive for COVID-19 they are contacted by a tracer who works to identify if that person has been in close contact with others. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) defines ‘close contact’ as less than 6 feet away for a duration of 15 minutes or more. Health dept. will contact any individuals who they determine may have had close contact with the individual who tested positive.
We are doing everything we can to support this person during quarantine. To further mitigate any risk, H2H will go back to telework/telehealth for all services. If you have any questions or need any additional support, please reach out to info@hearttohandinc.org or call 301-772-0103 and follow the prompts for the department you need. General inquiries may dial ext. 102.
Please be patient with us as we shift back to virtual services. Customer and employee safety is our highest priority as we manage this public health crisis. As always, thank you for your support and understanding. Take care and stay safe!
Each year, Heart to Hand hosts the “Transgender Day of Remembrance Brunch,” an event that celebrates, remembers, and empowers the transgender community in the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia).
