To Residents and Owners: CoVID-19
Al Spadine • March 13, 2020
Our letter to Residents and Owners in regards to CoVID-19.
Dear Residents and Owners,
We are closely monitoring the global impacts and developments of the novel coronavirus, now known as CoVID-19. The health of our renters, employees, and our communities remains of utmost importance.
Our focus during this time is to improve knowledge in the interest of your health, and the health of others, and to maintain business continuity while helping to contribute to slowing the transmission of the virus.
It is important that we all begin to prepare for the likelihood of being impacted by the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). The Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued a statement saying that it’s not a matter of “if” but “when” the virus reaches every part of the country. But as a note of caution, the Minnesota Department of Health encourages people to not panic but rather to become informed and be prepared.
What is the Novel Coronavirus?
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses, some that cause illness in people and others that cause illness in animals. Coronaviruses include the seasonal flu and common cold. Novel (new) coronaviruses
are new strains of the virus that have not been previously identified in humans.
Symptoms
Reported symptoms can include a fever, cough, or shortness of breath and may appear in as few as two to fourteen days following exposure. If you develop cold or flu-like symptoms, please contact your local healthcare provider for personalized expert advice.
Prevention & Treatment
- Review information from Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) about what you need to know about CoVID-19 and what to do if you are sick with CoVID-19 disease

- Reported symptoms can include a fever, cough, or shortness of breath and may appear in as few as two to fourteen days following exposure. If you develop cold or flu-like symptoms, please contact your local healthcare provider for personalized expert advice.
- Protecting yourself and others from respiratory illnesses like the flu starts with you. Practice good hygiene etiquette in the office, at home, and in the community:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Discontinue handshaking. Use other non-contact methods of greeting.
- Use hand sanitizer if hand washing isn’t immediately available
- If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your sleeve versus your hands
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces (doorknobs, desks, keyboards, mouse, phone, wallet, etc.)
- Stay home if you are sick with symptoms of acute respiratory illness (fever, cough, and shortness of breath).
- Stay home if you have been in close contact (such as anyone in your home) with anyone who is experiencing symptoms of acute respiratory illness (fever, cough, and shortness of breath).
We ask that confirmed cases of COVID-19 be reported to info@guardianprop.com in addition to local health authorities, Minnesota Department of Health, and the CDC. Guardian Property Management will continue to monitor communications from the local health authorities, Minnesota Department of Health, and the CDC and follow recommended protocols. Should Guardian learn of instances of COVID-19 present at any property we manage, we will work closely with relevant healthcare authorities on how to best serve our residents.
Kind Regards,
Guardian Property Management
