Promising Practice: COVID-19 Automated Call System
Promising Practice: COVID-19 Automated Call System
The International Institute of Metropolitan St. Louis (IISTL) in Missouri, MN recognized a need to provide state and local COVID-19 information to their clients in eight common languages that were not already available. They repurposed their automated call system to share pre-recorded messages with clients in their primary language and engaged both local and state partners about the best approach for presenting the information. IISTL saw an increase in the number of people listening to the message within 24 hours of receiving it, increasing from 300 people initially to over 700.
