Team Souda,
Things are still heating up in Greece so make sure you’re staying cool. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Keep drinking water and taking appropriate rest breaks (inside in an air conditioned area) when you are working outside in this heat – temperatures are staying steady in the 90s and higher and heat injuries are no joke.

I encourage you to think about all the things you weren’t allowed to do when our ability to move freely was restricted – and make time to do them now. Whether you need to take care of medical appointments, you want to travel around or off the island, or you want to spend time with friends – seize the day and get it done!

good personal hygiene is always important, regardless of your immunization status. Wash your hands often, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, and give a daily wipe down to those surfaces you touch frequently – door handles, light switches, desks, keyboards and telephones. And if you don’t feel well, stay home! I really want to emphasize this – I know you are hard chargers and you want to carry your weight. We are a small team and every person really does make a difference in accomplishing the mission. But it will not help us if you come to work sick and you take down your entire department. Instead, call the Medical Clinic at 266-1590/282102-1590, tell them your symptoms, and let them determine the next course of action. Don’t just show up at the Clinic – call first. And remember, if you do go in for an appointment, you must wear a face mask. Even with heat waves and a pandemic,
