Wisconsin Extension Agents Working Remotely
Wednesday, March 18th, 2020 -- 10:10 AM
(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -Workers within the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension will be working from home or other remote locations, effective immediately.The move is in response to precautions taken to reduce the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus. "We are also attuned to public health officials and leadership in our county on closures and further restrictions," said Extension Communications Director Matthew Call. "The latest health guidance on responding to the COVID-19 is flattening the curve or limiting the spread of the virus via protective measures. We want to make sure we're following best practice and promoting health and safety."
The directive to work remotely as possible will last through at least April 10. UW Extension is also working with staff who cannot work remotely to accommodate their situations.
