5yWe appreciate your feedback. We want all our employees to know, that while we have made efforts to reintegrate employees onto campus at a capacity of 50% or fewer (to allow for physical distancing), we also continue to monitor the current COVID-19 environment and consult with trusted medical advisors, local clinicians, and authorities to update our learnings and guide our reintegration decisions. Ultimately, we want to ensure we are taking the right steps to keep our employees safe. As just a few examples, we have implemented enhanced cleaning processes, require non-contact temperature screenings for anyone coming onto campus, and require employees to practice proper hand hygiene and physical distancing. Currently, face coverings are required with the exceptions of closed offices when employees are alone, or in certain limited, designated outdoor spaces that allow for distanced meetings or dining. While we remain confident in our on-site evidence-based safety measures, as we learn more information, we will adapt our campus accordingly.
In addition, we recently adapted our reintegration process further to allow for more flexibility. We encourage you to share your specific needs and challenges with your manager, so you may both discuss the best approach for your personal situation.
