REDUCE TRANSMISSION AMONG EMPLOYEES

If you feel sick, please stay home.

• Employees who have symptoms (i.e. fever, cough, or shortness of breath) must: • Notify their supervisor and stay home • Upon arrival at work or who become sick during the day will immediately be separated from other employees, customers, and visitors, and will be sent home. • Employees who are well but who have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 must notify their supervisor and follow CDC recommended precautions.

MAINTAIN HEALTHY BUSINESS OPERATION

Policies to follow and practice:

• Routinely clean and disinfect all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, keyboards, telephone, handrails, and doorknobs. • It is highly recommended to not use other workers’ phones, pens, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment, when possible. Clean and disinfect before each use. • Use disposable wipes on commonly used surfaces (e.g. doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks, other work tools and equipment) which can be wiped down by the employees before each use.

Policies to follow and practice:

• Hand sanitizers will be available in multiple locations to encourage hand hygiene. • Refrain from handshaking and use other non-contact methods of greeting. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. • Cover your cough or sneeze into a tissue, or the inside of your elbow.
