We had our conversation via virtual conference bridge to adhere to the \u2018social distancing\u2019 requirements of this pandemic period.\r\n\r\nWe discussed the recent Board of Health meeting, the new Emergency Order on facial coverings, the feedback that led to this step, additional feedback will be monitored at the next meeting for possible revision to take a further step if necessary.\r\n\r\nWe discuss the hierarchy of the MA health departments and how it has been brought to the frontlines with this pandemic. The relationship of the Executive Order by Governor Baker, the Department of Public Health that sets regulations for all MA communities and our local Board of Health that has the ground level responsibility.\r\n\r\nThe recording runs about 36 minutes, so let\u2019s listen to my conversation with Cathleen and Bridget.\r\n--------------\r\n\r\nApril 27 Emergency Order\r\nhttps://www.franklinma.gov/health-department/news/board-health-emergency-order\r\n\r\nAttorney General Office guidance referenced\r\nhttps://www.mass.gov/news/ag-healey-issues-guidance-on-disability-rights-during-covid-19-pandemic\r\n\r\nHealth Dept page\r\nhttps://www.franklinma.gov/health-department\r\n\r\nBoard of Health page\r\nhttps://www.franklinma.gov/health-department\r\n\r\nFranklin Portal page\r\nhttps://www.franklinma.gov/home/pages/important-links-and-best-practices \r\n\r\nPortal page on \u201cBest Practices\u201d\r\nhttps://www.franklinma.gov/home/pages/important-links-and-best-practices\r\n\r\nPrior podcasts with Cathleen\r\nMarch 27 https://www.franklinmatters.org/2020/03/fm-232-franklin-ma-health-director.html \r\nMarch 13 https://www.franklinmatters.org/2020/03/fm-224-health-director-cathleen-liberty.html \r\nJanuary 28 https://www.franklinmatters.org/2020/01/fm-196-cathleen-liberty-franklins.html \r\n\r\nWe are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm). \r\n\r\nThis podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone.
