SAN DIEGO, CALIF., March 9, 2020 – Coronavirus COVID-19 Update.

With the Coronavirus COVID-19 making the news throughout the United States, the IU Group of Companies (Interpreters Unlimited, IU GlobeLink, Accessible Communication for the Deaf (ACD), Albors & Alnet, and Arkansas Spanish Interpreters & Translators (ASIT)) wanted to provide some useful information for those with concerns about the virus. Though the chances of contracting COVID-19 are presently low, we want to make sure we provide the public with the latest information to help keep you safe.

The following are precautions that are taken, and are to be taken, by the independently contracted interpreters who provide their services with us, as well as all IU team members.

It is recommended that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) care guidelines are followed to prevent the spread of most illnesses, including the Coronavirus.

• Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• The CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a face mask. They should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others and by medical personnel.

If you or someone close to you has a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, contact your doctor or hospital in advance and follow any instructions or recommendations that they provide.

For additional information you can visit the CDC special coronavirus page which is updated as new information becomes available.

FROM TRIX: My workshops benefit participants at all levels. Countless advanced interpreters have let me know that they enjoyed learning updated/new signs that they haven’t seen before, such as regional accents. They also loved it when I explained how to sign messages into ASL, rather than just signing in English word by word. Interpreters appreciate that my workshops are excellent for review as well as for discovering new things that apply within the professional work environment. Students also mentioned that my workshops helped them to understand how to approach their own projects, research, and practice more effectively.
