through Zoom and is free and open to the public; interested attendees should

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
women who are pregnant or were recently pregnant are more likely to need
hospitalization, intensive care, or have other complications from Covid-19 than
those who are not pregnant. In addition,
women who contract Covid-19 while pregnant are more likely to experience issues
during pregnancy and experience preterm birth and stillbirth. Other factors which can increase the risk of
severe illness from Covid-19 include underlying medical conditions, age, health
inequities, exposure to high numbers of coronavirus cases or low levels of
vaccinated people.
“We are pleased
to be able to offer this series of informational workshops to those who have
questions about Covid-19,” commented Project Self-Sufficiency Executive
Director Deborah Berry-Toon. “Receiving
up-to-date information will allow all of us to make informed choices about our
health and the health of our families and ultimately help the entire
community.”
To register for
the Covid-19 virtual workshop and receive log-in details, call Project
