Exposure Update 1 case where a represented employee was exposed was reported today from B/181, they have been out of the office since 8/3, we are still waiting to learn if precautionary cleaning and/or contact tracing will follow. The employee from B/159C reported last week has returned to work. The cases that are still unresolved are: the non-bargaining unit employee who last worked in B/156G on 7/3/2020. An NBU employee who has been on quarantine since 7/24 is still out pending clearance from medical. We will keep you informed on these cases as we find out more details.
Most of the cases reported since March have not been due to exposure in the workplace; they have been from employees who have been exposed in their homes or in running errands. It is important that you and yours take all proper precautions when outside of work. Please be careful and be mindful of those around you when you run errands from home.
Testing and results – we are also learning that different counties and localities may offer the testing results differently, for example, some areas may take 2 days to return the test results and others as much as 2 weeks. This may explain why some may seem to return to work sooner than others, the tracker also may not offer real time information like this bulletin, the tracker may be updated every 1 to 2 weeks and may continue to compile cases that we have discussed here already.
The Decision Tree – There is a change to the process of notifying the company if you may have been exposed to the Corona Virus. Attached is the decision tree identifying this new procedure. Instead of calling the hotline you are to notify your manager and stay home. Your manager will notify the corona virus task force point of contact (refer to attached process flow) who will reach out to you directly. You will be subjected to a brief questionaire, and your answers will be submitted to company medical for further evaluation and guidance.
Misting – Misting operations will occur as follows in August: 10th & 11th – B/153. 12th & 13th – B/154. 20th, 21st, 23rd – B 195A, B/195B & 195D, respectively. The 25th through the 28th – B/158. Most operation are scheduled between 0300-0500 but may vary. It is important to stow away all personal items and drinking cups
