COVID19 Information Available in Multiple Languages

COVID-19

The Black Hawk County Health Department knows that it is important for all residents to have access to vital health information all the time, but especially in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to make sure our residents have access to current and accurate information in the language best suited for them.

We are grateful that Polk County Health Department and EMBARC produced the following videos with important general COVID-19 guidelines. The Black Hawk County Health Department utilized that script and produced five more videos to reflect the language needs of our community. We encourage you to click on the language of a community you know and share it widely, so that the information is received by the people who need it.

For updated information we encourage you to follow the Black Hawk County Health Department on Facebook and on our website.

Also follow EMBARC on Facebook and YouTube, where updates are given in multiple languages.
