Steps we’re taking

We are monitoring information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and federal and state agencies to ensure we are taking appropriate measures to keep our employees and customers safe. We are communicating regularly with our employees to keep them informed and to ensure their safety and the safety of our employees and customers.

 

We are conducting enhanced cleaning where needed and have sent hand sanitizers and disinfecting wipes to all our offices. We are expanding our leave policies and are encouraging our employees to stay home if they feel sick or have been in close contact with someone with the virus. We have limited business travel for our employees and are conducting group meetings by phone or other digital means.

 

Steps you can take

• Stay up to date by following the CDC’s website. www.cdc.gov

• Follow the CDC recommendations to help prevent the spread of this virus:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer;

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands;

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick;

  • Stay home when you are not feeling well; and

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.

• Beware of Scams. Never give your personal information out to people who contact you unsolicited by phone, email or otherwise. If you receive a suspicious email or text message, don’t respond, click on any links or open attachments. Always verify the authenticity of any websites before making a donation or a purchase. If you suspect you have been a victim of fraud, call us at 800-723-4718.
