Stay Safe and Healthy This Cold and Flu Season

BY MADISON AMBER

As we head into the colder months, we want to prioritize everyone’s health and safety. Cold, flu, and Covid-19 are more common this time of year, so let’s work together to minimize their impact on our workplaces.

Key Reminders for Staying Safe:

Stay Home if You’re Feeling Sick

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, or body aches, please stay home and rest. Coming to work while sick puts both you and your coworkers at risk.

Covid-19 Testing & Return-to-Work Policy

If you test positive for Covid-19, please notify your manager and follow the recommended isolation guidelines.

You can not return to the office until you receive a negative test result.

Practice Good Hygiene

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t available.

• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow.

Get Vaccinated

Flu and Covid-19 vaccines are highly effective in reducing the severity of illness. Consider scheduling your vaccinations if you haven’t already.

Disinfect Common Areas

Regularly clean shared surfaces and items to help reduce the spread of germs.

Your health matters to us, and taking these precautions will help ensure we all stay as safe and healthy as possible this season. If you have any questions or need additional guidance, please reach out to Connie Gibson or myself. Thank you for helping to keep our workplace a safe and healthy environment.
