Reliable Resources for Spanish- & English-Speaking Farmworkers about COVID-19

By Libby EiholzerCCE Northwest NY Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Team, and Richard StupCornell Agricultural Workforce Development 

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is spreading rapidly across the world. Although cities have the most sick people, the disease has reached rural communities of New York as well. Everyone needs to take this very seriously. Agriculture is an essential business, so many of us will continue to go to work. However, we all need to take precautions to stay safe and help prevent further spread of the disease. The key things to do are limit contact with other people and keep everything very clean. We've prepared a new resource to help Spanish- and English-speaking farm employees access credible, multi-lingual information that they can use right away. The document appears in English and Spanish and the content is the same, we will keep both documents up to date during the present COVID-19 crisis. Access these and other resources here (http://agworkforce.cals.cornell.edu/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/) or link directly below.

Thanks to Lisa Ford of Cayuga Marketing and Anna Meyerhoff of NYCAMH for their input on this new resource.
