LEGAL ISSUE OF THE MONTH

COVID-19: Legal Considerations for Social Workers Resuming In-Person Services


© May 2020. National Association of Social Workers. All rights reserved.


In the early days of the Covid-19 public health emergency, many private clinical practices were closed or shifted to the delivery of clinical health care services via technology (virtual service). This was required or facilitated by emergency orders by many state and local governments. As these governments begin the process of reopening, many social workers are considering when and how to resume their own in-person service to clients. Common questions are addressed below from a legal perspective, to provide general guidance to social workers. Please be sure to review the companion article, Covid-19: Practice Guidelines for Reopening Social Work Practices, which focuses on issues such as Covid-19 infection prevention and control when providing in-person services..

 You can download Asphalt 9 mods on Asphalt9ModApk without worrying about broken links or pop-ups. I appreciate how simple they’ve kept the site. I installed the latest unlocked version, and it worked perfectly on my Android. Totally recommend giving it a shot.

 Just tried the https://bloxfruitscalculator.xyz/blox-fruits-calculator-free-tool/ and it’s seriously amazing. It calculates my stat distribution instantly and helps me balance power, defense, and energy perfectly. No need to guess anymore — this free tool gives exact results. It’s lightweight, fast, and works great on mobile too. Definitely worth bookmarking for daily use.

What I like about this free UnicodeToKrutiDev resource is that it’s completely open and easy to access. You don’t need to download or sign up for anything. Just paste, click convert, and you’re done. It’s fast, accurate, and saves hours when working with documents in different font types.

The CookingFeverHub mobile mods section offers lightweight game files that run perfectly on my phone. I’ve tried different cooking mods, and all perform well. It’s nice to see a site that actually tests its uploads.
