Dear Employee:
The coronavirus situation is highly fluid. As a valued member of our team, we want to take this opportunity to inform you that we are staying abreast of public health information and guidelines and will continue to monitor and assess the actual and potential impact.
The well-being of our staffing community and neighbors is paramount to us. We will continue to share up-to-date developments, as necessary.

We are following government and health organization web sites, and we encourage you to review the same. These web sites include:

Based on guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we encourage you to:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick; Stay home when you are sick
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a household cleaning spray or wipe
- Not wear a face mask unless you show symptoms of respiratory illness, including COVID-19
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing (if soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol)
We trust you are already following the guidance and will apply the recommended safety policies outlined in the links above. Many of the most commonly suggested preventive measures are inexpensive. We will stand together to navigate this public health challenge and further the well-being of everyone.
