employees about frequent hand washing, wearing masks, gloves, sanitizing, and we are regularly cleaning and disinfecting our facilities, and equipment. Importantly, we are asking that our employees stay home from work if they feel sick or have been in contact with anyone that is or has been sick.

touching cardboard or other equipment during shipping is low. We will be maintaining a thorough

thoroughly wipe down using standard cleaning protocol before equipment is accepted into their
facilities. Currently We will not be shipping equipment or receiving equipment unless we are given essential operation notification authorization, and we have written authorization from the city/county to do so.
