​COVID-19 Response
Crosswalk Teen Center Closing Until Further Notice
 
Late Thursday evening, March 12, Governor Whitmer announced that Michigan public and private schools will be closed beginning Monday, March 16 until Monday, April 6 due to the increased number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Michigan.  In order to do are part in preventing the potential spread of COVID-19 and in compliance with the governor’s order, Crosswalk Teen Center will be closed beginning Saturday, March 14 until further notice.
 
We hope that all the efforts that the state, schools, and Crosswalk are making will help to prevent the spread of the virus so we can resume operation and life as usual.  We will be watching closely the status of reported cases in Eaton County and the Greater Lansing region and may decide it is safe enough to reopen before April 6.  Please stay updated for potential announcements on Facebook and Instagram.
 
We are sorry for the inconvenience and know that many teens count on us for critical services, we will continue to be available for individual need requests via phone, email, and text.  We encourage all of our teens and others to follow the CDC and health department recommendation to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:
 

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Cover your cough or sneeze in the bend of the arm or in a tissue.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus. Prevention is the key to successful control of infectious diseases.
