Prepare for the Coronavirus - Tips to Stay Safe and Healthy
Preparation is Key for the Coronavirus, known as COVID-19.
Tips to Stay Safe and Healthy – and Stop the Spread of the Coronavirus
The WHO just declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a pandemic today, with reported cases in at least 48 countries. We are here to help with advice for your agency and insureds on how to protect against this situation.
It is business as usual currently and there are no changes in how we work with our brokers and our insureds. We will continue to send any updates regarding the coronavirus and business operations as necessary.
Symptoms of the coronavirus are similar to that of a respiratory infection, like stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, fever and breathing difficulties. As medical professionals continue to work on a vaccine for COVID-19, there are things your agency and your insureds can do to stay safe and stop the spreading of these types of viruses.
We recommend companies start building contingency plans now to identify any potential gaps if employees are out of the office as a result of the virus. Sick leave policies and more leniency about allowing employees to stay home can also be key during these types of situations.
