NEWS...

 

05/17/10 - “STEP ONE” PRECAUTIONS RESCINDED
According to the CDC, there have been no reported cases of influenza in Iowa for over three weeks. Therefore, while the world remains at WHO Pandemic Phase 6, we have decided to cancel the implementation of “Step One” (II-9102.3) precautions in our diocese. Parishes and schools should review their responses to the flu outbreak, replenish stockpiles, and return to a “remote preparation” (Policy II-9102.1) stance.
 

 

Diocesan Updates

 

Update - May 17, 2009

"Step One" precautions lifted; diocese back to "Remote Preparation" stance.
