1. Office assistants working at the office get background checks and answer the phones which can be done remotely and prevent exposure for all staff and parties, but management believes that the office needs to remain open to the public. 2. The office has provided wipes to
sanitize but it has been rare that the workers wipe down the room after it's been used. 3. Staff have tried monitoring who comes in the building by using a sign in sheet as well as having supervisors email the general assistant staff to advise who will be in the building, but since it's been implemented some supervisors aren't being told when their team is coming in and there are times when there are a lot of workers in at the same time. 4. There is a handheld thermometer and a wall hanged thermometer that office assistants used to take temperatures, but it has been shown multiple times to give out the wrong temperature. With the new system of asking COVID questions online, the staff have been bypassing the office assistant desk, potentially exposing people. 5. Employees are notified if there is a positive case but are not told to quarantine after being told they were potentially exposed. Employees are working at the office even though they were exposed. 6. Employees are told the building was sanitized but the cleaning person that comes in everyday is just seen wiping down printers and door handles-- not rooms or visitations rooms, counter tops up front or rest rooms. Staff are not told to move any papers or other things so that things can get wiped down or cleaned.
