What if I choose or need to work from home because of COVID-19?
While New York continues to montior for the ongoing spread of COVID-19, we understand that you may need to work from home or an alternative site for a period of time. It is our goal to help you get work done - no matter where that happens to be from.
Please notify your onsite General Manager or a Community Associate if you and/or your team needs to work from home while the threat of COVID continues to subside. It would be our pleasure to help bridge the gap between your office and home office.
How can I protect myself?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has outlined a series of precautions and things to know to help minimize your risk of catching and spreading the virus:
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
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. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
If you are traveling, review the CDC’s guide: Coronavirus Disease 2019 Information for Travel.
