I just want to give you exercise update with information that we've been presented with. We have been told that roughly 30 of 65 people from a symposium last night here at Unity Point Methodist have presented to either Broadlawns or Unity Point Hospital with nausea, droopy eyes, difficulty swallowing. At this time, we have our hazmat team gearing up to make an entry into the symposium area, auditorium area where it took place last night to do monitoring and checking to see if there's anything in that environment that could have caused this. We'll let you know whenever the team is getting ready to make entry. Going 74, 1041, 736. for signs and symptoms and medical support for that and also we have let Polk County know what we've taken in since it involves two hospitals at this time for the exercise.
