We want to let you know we have had multiple additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 at DCM2. Due to privacy laws, we cannot disclose the names of the individual, but the last day the affected associates were on site was between 11/4/2020 and 12/09/2020.  Consistent with our daily processes, the site has undergone enhanced cleanings since their last day.

 

We continue to follow the CDC’s guidance and will inform any co-workers who may have been in close contact with the affected individual. If someone is found to have been in close contact, we will proactively reach out to the individual to advise them of their possible exposure to COVID-19.

 

We have taken a number of measures to keep us all safe and healthy, including MANDATORY social distancing of 6ft with daily audits, requiring face coverings for anyone entering the building to wear as a preventive measure, thermal temperature checks for anyone entering the building, staggered shifts, and extended breaks. We also continue to follow the guidance of the CDC, WHO, local health authorities, and private medical experts on other recommended preventative measures. You can read more about what we are doing to keep our team safe

and healthy here.

 

Reminder: Notification to station associates, drivers, of a confirmed COVID-19 case is an FASTRAQ health and safety requirement and as such, you are required to share this notification with your teams as soon as possible, but no later than prior to the start of their next shift. We have prepared talking points and some frequently asked questions to assist you in delivering that message

 

ATTENDANCE:  Test must be same or next day of developing symptom's or calling off for your scheduled work shift.  We only recognize test administered via fully licensed medical facilties, not home self-kit test.   And, if you feel sick, please STAY home.  To assist you in sharing this message with your teams, we have prepared some talking points and FAQs (see below, and attached document). Adherence to company policy and protocol, alongside providing supporting documentation, you will not be subject to attendance points.

 

Thank you for everything you’re doing for the community during this unprecedented time. 

​

Today, we learned of multiple confirmed cases of COVID-19 at DCM2. The affected employees were last onsite between 11/4/2020 - 12/09/2020.

     

We continue to follow the CDC’s guidance and will inform any co-workers who may have been in close contact with the affected individuals. If someone is found to be in close contact, we will proactively reach out to them individually to advise them of their possible exposure to COVID-19. Close contact is defined as being within approximately 6 feet/2 meters.

       

We understand you may be nervous about coming in to work. We have taken a number of measures to keep each other safe. Our mandatory social distancing procedures of at least 6ft/2m of space, both in our sites and on the road with our customers and communities, will decrease risk of transmission. We have suspended new driver ride along trainings, attended delivery practices (knocking on customer doors, and ringing doorbells), and requiring customer signatures at point-of-delivery.

If you feel sick, you should stay home.

 

Thank you for everything you’re doing for the community during this difficult time.

 

We also want to make sure you can get your questions answered, so please contact any manager or HR.

Stay home from work if you feel sick.

·        

We require everyone wears a face covering of some kind covering their nose and mouth from arrival through departure of your shift. We will have face coverings for anyone entering the building to wear as a recommended preventative measure, and if you prefer you may bring your own mask, including fabric masks. We have teams working nonstop to continue sourcing supplies, including masks, and are working hard to stay in stock with masks during this event.
