3.24.2020 Update

March 24, 2020 — Elkhart, Indiana

In response to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emergency:

Yesterday, Indiana State Governor Eric Holcomb issued a mandatory order—effective Tuesday, March 24 at 11:59pm—for all residents to remain in their homes except for some permitted essential activities. The order is currently effective through Monday, April 6, with indications that it could be extended if the outbreak warrants it.

While Governor Holcomb’s order includes allowances for employees and employers whose businesses qualify as “essential,” per the list supplied on in.gov/coronavirus, the intent of the order is clear: for the health and safety of our communities, all those who can stay home are ordered to stay home.

It is in observance of Governor Holcomb’s order that Delivery Concepts suspends production at all facilities, effective Tuesday, March 24 at 11:59pm and ending Tuesday, April 7 at 11:59pm. All plants are currently set to reopen Wednesday, April 8. Any changes to this date will be formally announced. Some limited staff members may resume essential on-site work through Friday, March 27 at Plant 1 in Elkhart. Any such essential staff will be identified and notified by plant management.

All employees, whether able or unable to work from home, are expected to heed all government orders intended to slow the spread of coronavirus/COVID-19, in order to further limit risk to ourselves and others when production resumes.

Office employees who are able to work from home—including sales, engineering, administrative, and marketing staff—are expected to do so. Please direct questions regarding remote work to your immediate supervisor.

Sincerely,

Anthony Marchetti
President & CEO | Delivery Concepts, Inc.
29301 County Road 20, Elkhart, IN 46517

3.18.2020 Update

Delivery Concepts is deeply committed to the health and safety of our employees, clients, and communities. Like you, we are actively navigating this unprecedented situation as it develops.

Simply put – if you are sick – stay home!

This will not be a paid time off. If you are well – we expect you to come to work and treat it as business as usual.

Help us all stay well by preventing the spread of germs:

Avoid close contact – stay 6’ away from each other
Wash your hands
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue
If you feel sick or run a fever – stay home

Please check this status daily as we will update regularly. Additional information about coronavirus/COVID-19 available below for your convenience.

Symptoms of Coronavirus

(Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html)

Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath

To determine if your symptoms align with those of coronavirus, please review these articles that differentiate coronavirus from the flu, allergies, and sinus infections:

Preventing the Spread of Coronavirus

Wash hands regularly, for at least 20 seconds
Use hand sanitizer when you can’t use soap and water
Avoid touching your face – particularly your mouth, nose, and eyes
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw your tissue away in the trash
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

Social Distancing

The Center for Disease Control and government officials are calling for nationwide social distancing to slow the spread of coronavirus and the resulting disease, COVID-19. Slowing the spread of the virus, or “flattening the curve” so that health and medical professionals are not overwhelmed by a sudden influx of patients, exceeding the capacity of facilities and staff.

But what does “social distancing” really mean?

Maintain a 6-foot distance between yourself and others
Avoid gatherings of more than 10 people
Avoid contact with those who may be sick
Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care (see more info on sick time below)

What happens if I get sick?

If you begin to exhibit symptoms of coronavirus or have reason to believe you have been exposed to the coronavirus, the CDC encourages you to self quarantine and seek testing.

All employees who may miss work because of illness must inform management and/or HR personnel of their absence per normal company guidelines in order to avoid any instances of no call, no show.

Absences of employees whose symptoms are not consistent with coronavirus/COVID-19 will be treated according to company policy, with the employee choosing to submit for paid time off (from their accrued PTO balance) or taking the time unpaid.

Absences of any employees whose symptoms are consistent with coronavirus will be assessed as they occur.
