Covid precautions
Generally you will work in a separate room. Rooms are all off one main hallway. Few people come inside the building other than the seven to eight in-office employees. For face-to-face conversations we wear masks. We do not congregate, like for meetings, and generally keep away from one another, just to be safe. The office has sanitizer dispensers at the entrances and sanitizing wipes at scanner and kitchen and in restrooms, where there’s soap and paper towels. All door handles can be opened with a forearm or back of hand. We limit exposure to others on our personal time. At the first sign of symptoms, we self-quarantine until a COVID test result is available. Because several people have higher-risk conditions or live with a person who does, we do all this and prefer to hire someone who is happy to follow these procedures.
