IPRA will be using this page to share important resources addressing the COVID-19 virus and its impact on our parks & recreation programs, predominantly the professionals and participants that make up our beautiful, active communities.
We are continuing to monitor the situation in order to provide the best guidance possible for all of our members. We will be following all information and best practices put forth by public health authorities such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), American Public Health Association (APHA), and the Indiana State Department of Public Health (ISDH), as well as parks and recreation specific information shared by the NRPA.
Most important tip to keep in mind:
Stay up-to-date with science-based information, wash and sanitize your hands regularly and if you feel unwell or have a fever of 100 or more, stay home and prevent spreading any illness to others.
