The contract, for up to $158,700, includes one lead community health worker and five part time promotores, who will provide Spanish-language education about covid-19 to the community that\\u2019s been hardest hit by the virus. A team of professional public health trainers will lead the workers through various scenarios and the complexities of communicating about often fraught subjects. \\nThe promotores are focusing especially on educating people about safe gatherings and staying safe at work, so they don\\u2019t bring the virus home to their families. \\nYou can call Nuestra Alianza about this program at (707) 456-9418.'
