Concern over protective equipment as cases rise By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff

Be on the lookout for check scams By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

Residents are cautioned to be on the lookout for scams involving claims of stimulus checks from the federal government.

As the number of COVID-19 infections continues to increase, public safety and health officials are concerned about depleting stockpiles of personal protective equipment for first responders and healthcare workers. “We always will need more,” said Meriden Fire Chief Ken Morgan. “We’re burning through it a lot faster than we normally would.” Decontamination team members Rob Rogers and Midway through last week, Scott McMullen remove equipment from an ambulance Morgan’s department had at Hunter’s Ambulance in Meriden. sufficient supplies of N95 Dave Zajac, Record-Journal medical masks and Tyvek protective suits, but was runOverall, 26,686 residents ed.

After the announcement of the $2 trillion federal economic stimulus package, the state attorney general and Department of Consumer Protection began receiving reports of “bad actors looking to steal Americans’ personal information and money,” according to a statement. “Scam artists will use this public health emergency and much-needed relief as a way to profit off of the public’s fears and vulnerabilities ...” Attorney General William Tong said in the statement. Tong advised residents to do research if they receive a phone call, text message or email from someone claiming to be from the federal government. State police said they have not received any complaints. “Hopefully people heed the warning,” Meriden Police Sgt. Darrin McKay said

Tuesday. “It’s no different than a phishing scam.” Phishing is the criminal practice of using email or text messages to trick a person into giving out personal information, according to the Federal Trade Commission consumer website consumer.ftc.gov/. The site features tips for avoiding coronavirus scams. McKay said if residents get text messages with links to access “their stimulus check” they should not provide any personal information, including Social Security number or credit card information. Wallingford Police Lt. Cheryl Bradley also advised caution. See Scams, A4

Connecticut healthcare workers are unsung heroes As we complete the second week of Governor Lamont's "Stay Safe, Stay at Home" executive order, Connecticut's residents are facing big changes to their daily lives. While most of us are acclimating to life homebound, there are some people who must still report to work as if it were a regular day. For medical professionals and first responders, their current experiences at work are far from what constitutes a "regular" day. Their day-today responsibilities carry a lot more risk and pressure. These workers are exhausted from longer, more unpredictable hours. They are giv-

en far fewer days off, meaning less breaks. This forms a very stressful environment. These workers are anxious about their exposure – due to insufficient numbers or quality of personal protective equipment (PPE) – compounded by their concern that they are also exposing their loved ones. All of these people are serving on Connecticut's front lines of the battle through this health crisis. There are ways we can help our medical professionals. First and foremost, do your part and stay home. The disease spreads by being carried from person to person. Hospital workers are dealing with enough already. Staying home and responsibly separating yourself from others are the most important things you can commit to in the next few weeks. Beyond practicing proper social distancing, you can support Connecticut’s battle against coronavirus by volunteering your time and resources. Not only can the 21-1 help line connect you with statewide opportuni-

To everyone, please reach out to my office if I can help

“My understanding of the stimulus money is that it will be directly deposited or mailed out,” Bradley said. “As for organizations soliciting money based on the COVID-19 cause, I would encourage people to do their homework to determine if the organization is legitimate. There will be a plethora of organizations developing out of this tragedy, some legitimate and others not. Research, research, research.” Lora Rae Anderson, spokeswoman for the Department of Consumer Protection, said residents should know that the government will not require people to provide a Social Security number, “or pay a fee in order to get a stimulus check — or gain access to programs offered as a result of COVID-19.”

“We have heard about consumers receiving emails with suspicious links offering to get them a stimulus check immediately if only they click and turn over personal information,” Anderson said. “You will never receive an unsolicited email about a stimulus check. We have also heard of scams tying the census to stimulus checks and want people to know that you filling out the census is not tied to access to stimulus money.” Anderson said charities in Connecticut have to be registered with the Department of Consumer Protection.

Arrests reported by the Plainville Police:

Residents can verify a charity’s registration by going to elicense.ct.gov. Scam charities will pressure residents to donate immediately, legitimate ones will allow people to do research. Legitimate charities will also be transparent about where the donated money is going. Anderson said if there is an offer for something in return for a donation, such as a vacation, it is most likely a scam.

Maura Esposito, director of the Chesprocott Health District, said the area is running low on N95 masks and face shields. While hospitals are the top priority for supplies, other partners, including group homes that work with the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, are in need, as well. “They have been looking at us to give those supplies,” Esposito said. Supplies have run so low that leaders like Esposito are down to giving out equipment that has expired. Esposito urged anyone who has new, unused protective equipment to donate them. For information on where to donate, she recommended calling 211. Shane Lockwood, health director for the PlainvilleSouthington Regional Health

District, said the district is also running low on protective equipment. “We’re managing our stockpile,” Lockwood said, adding, “We’ll get through this. We’ve gotten donations.” One business, Hong Kong Kitchen in Southington, donated 1,000 facemasks. Those will be given to first responders and nursing homes, Lockwood said.

“We know there are many people out there. There are many people out there who have the symptoms but won’t get tested,” he said. David Lowell, executive vice president for Hunter’s Ambulance in Meriden, said for now the medical transportation company has a sufficient supply of personal protective equipment. However, Lowell expects an

uptick in calls for emergency transportation in the coming weeks. “We will be in need of additional supplies and have orders placed so we don’t run out,” Lowell said. Lowell and others noted the situation is rapidly evolving. “We are advising our first responders as this rolls on to treat every patient as if they have a COVID-19 infection, so there are no gaps in proper protective equipment,” Lowell said.

The company has also instituted a protocol to decontaminate vehicles and equipment following the transportation of patients suspected to be COVID-19 infected, to avoid cross-contamination, Lowell explained. “We take that ambulance offline, move it to a secured area, and then a special team, using power sprayers, disinfect the vehicles,” he said.

Coronavirus coverage is free, but producing it is not. In a time when the coronavirus crisis has brought most businesses and local economies to a standstill the Record-Journal has been working around the clock to provide you with trusted, local news. All of our coronavirus coverage at myrecordjournal.com/coronavirus remains free during this crisis.

Trusted information is vital... now more than ever.

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the Record-Journal isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dealing with the same financial challenges as other businesses. We pay journalists to be on the front lines of this crisis, providing a valuable service to our communities. But with the current economic situation, the resources to pay our journalists are dwindling.

We need your help.

If you find local news and information is crucial to you and our community, please consider subscribing by visiting myrecordjournal.com/subscribe. Already a subscriber? Consider buying a subscription for a family member or friend.

Donate to sustain trusted local news.

You can also donate through our Covid-19 Local News Fund. Your contributions will go directly to helping pay for Record-Journal news resources that cover the impact of the virus on our local communities. An investment in local news is an investment in your community. All donations are tax deductible.

Thank you for your support of the Record-Journal during this critical time! SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to the Record-Journal online and get 40% OFF.
