With the number of COVID-19 cases steadily decreasing throughout our operational sites and the United States as a whole, we are ending COVID mitigation requirements beginning March 31.
This includes eliminating mask and social distancing requirements, contact tracing for close contacts, temperature checks and vehicle occupancy restrictions.
We encourage people to continue those protocols that make them comfortable based on their personal situation, including continuing to wear a mask or practicing social distancing.
While the COVID numbers are decreasing, we don’t know what the future holds, and we may have to reimplement mitigation protocols based on case numbers.
With this in mind, don’t throw caution to the wind – COVID is still out there. I encourage everyone to continue the good habits established during the pandemic such as social distancing and hand washing. Most importantly, please do not come to work if you are sick or have symptoms of COVID.
We will continue to monitor the situation and appreciate your help to ensure you, your families and our communities stay healthy.
