To help control the spread of the corona virus that causes COVID-19, and in support of Governor Wolf's requests that we all work together to flatten the curve, the Rotary Club of Bethlehem has suspended its in-person meetings until further notice. We now meet virtually via conferencing software.
Club leadership will continue to monitor the situation and inform our members of any updates. In the meantime, take care and follow these simple guidelines.
- Frequently wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow.
- Clean frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- Stay home when sick.

Italian Rotarians aid in coronavirus fight
While Italy has been largely locked down to fight the coronavirus, members of the Rotary Club of Morimondo Abbazia have provided support for people and businesses reeling from the effects of the pandemic. Their efforts are addressing both immediate and long-term needs including donating meals to health care workers, organizing a supply chain to get ingredients for liquid sanitizer, and helping businesses that depend on in-person commerce move their operations online.
| Hacking a solution to the COVID-19 pandemic |
Rotarians in Lithuania and Chicago, Illinois, USA, are using their influence to promote the use of “bubble helmets” and potentially lessen the need for mechanical ventilators for COVID-19 patients who struggle to breathe on their own. It is one of many ways that Rotary clubs are responding to the pandemic. |
