Uncertainty about the current and potential impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread. Our first priority is to provide associates with a safe, healthy and productive environment as our nation deals with COVID 19 pandemic. Intentional steps to prevent any spread of COVID 19 among our facilities are vital at this time.
We have an internal taskforce to direct us in procedures for combating the spread of COVID 19, with joint efforts between all departments. We are also in contact with our associated organizations for additional input. Our response plan is designed to ensure everyone stays well. Associates who may have been exposed to COVID 19 have the option to self quarantine at home. The plan is one of prevention, not panic.
Please select the link below to the most current version of the plan, and a few key messages are:
1. Report any possible exposure or symptoms to Human Resources immediately.
2. Do not come to work if you have experienced any symptoms or may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
3. Disinfect work areas at least daily.
We are encouraging sales associates to do business via phone and email to reduce potential exposure. Misinformation can spread quicker than any disease. It is important that we receive and report news only from credible sources
The Georgia, Alabama and California Departments of Public Health has launched a new website detailing the spread of COVID 19 in Georgia: https://dph.georgia.gov/georgia-department-public-health-covid-19-daily-status-report , https://va.alabama.gov/covid-19/ -covid-19-, https://www.gov.ca.gov/ , Current information about COVID 19, its spread and preventative measures can be found on the CDC’s website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html
