New Normal Committee

Covid-19 has upended much of our day-to-day lives, while public health is playing a very important leadership role in keeping us safe and healthy. Fairfax County has rolled out many actions in meeting this challenge, from offering free grocery shopping and pharmacy pick-up for older adults, to daily detailed reporting on cases, and where to find CoVid-19 testing . 
 
The County’s Long Term Care Coordinating Council, whose mission is to identify needs and promote solutions to enhance the lives of older adults and people with disabilities, formed a subgroup---New Normal Committee. Now called, COVID-19 Impact & Response Committee, the group has created this comprehensive list on where to get help.
