As we all return to work from the holiday break, we wanted to send reminders regarding the cold and flu season. As we start the new year, influenza cases are on the rise across most of the country. We have seen a rise in flu and general illness over the past month and wanted to proactively send reminders to help prevent the spread.

How can you help prevent the spread of illness?

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing to prevent those around you from getting sick.
• Wash your hands often.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
• Utilize hand sanitizer.
• Pivot to virtual meetings with colleagues if members of the team are not feeling well.
• Consider Masking– wearing masks in public or crowded indoor spaces can reduce transmission. 

How will CEO be helping to prevent the spread of illness?

• Disposable masks are available for employees. Please reach out to HR if you need masks.
• Facilities will be increasing sanitization efforts.
• Offering of AllyHealth telemedicine for enrolled employees.
• Increase hand sanitizer available to employees.

We are hopeful with these combined efforts we will do our best to minimize the spread of illness during this flu season!

As always thank you for your efforts in helping to keep us all healthy!
