Employee Resource Center answers many COVID questions
An employee has a headache and nausea, but no other COVID symptoms. What should her supervisor tell her?
Another has a family friend with whom he spent time who has now tested positive. Does he have to quarantine?
These questions, and many more, are addressed on Human Resources’ Employee Resources page. Every entry has a date next to it so employees and supervisors will know when items have been updated.
#MaskUpPimaCounty!
Our fight against COVID-19 is far from over, but together we can get through it. Wearing a face mask is one of the simplest, most effective ways to slow the spread of the virus, but everyone needs to do their part.
That’s why we’re asking you to mask up and take to social media to share who you mask for.
Print the “I Wear A Face Mask For” color poster, fill in the blank and share an image of yourself wearing your mask on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or TikTok using the hashtag #MaskUpPimaCounty. Be sure to print the poster in color!

Health Department still wants your COVID stories
The Pima County Health Department is working hard to educate people on how they can prevent -- or at least slow -- the spread of COVID-19. To do that, they need some first-person accounts from employees or their families who have been directly affected by COVID-19.
Email the Communications Office if you or someone you know is willing to be part of the campaign.

What’s The Scoop?
Remember when the Board of Supervisors honored the 1988-89 University of Arizona men's basketball team for their 29-4 finish?
The Cats were the Number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but were upset in the Sweet 16 by the Runnin' Rebels of UNLV.
We wrote about it in the June 1989 issue of The Scoop, the predecessor of today's eScoop.
We’ll profile a different front page is each issue of our current eScoop.
