CORONAVIRUS

Protect yourself

Please read this note carefully and in its entirety

NO DEADLINE - No reply necessary

This notification is about the coronavirus; please take a moment and read the text below as it very important.

As the virus spreads, it is crucial, now more than ever, for you to take precautions.

You cannot afford to catch this virus for many reasons:

First - if you get this virus you will automatically be placed in quarantine for at least 14 days; this means you cannot work during this time.

Second - if you have the virus, you can make others around you sick. They, too, would be placed in quarantine and would not be able to work either.

Third - little is still known about this virus and its long term implications in terms of recovery. If you are sick you will not be able to go north until/unless you are healthy. Therefore, if you do not recover from the virus in time to go up north, you would lose the opportunity of going up north with all the negative consequences that it would entail.

THIS IS SERIOUS AND YOU MUST TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY!

PROTECT YOURSELF AND THOSE AROUND YOU!

WHAT TO DO TO KEEP SAFE

Avoid large crowds; this is not the time to go out and hang out with people

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
