As communities begin to feel the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), I want to share with you the steps were taking at Harbor Freight Tools to help protect the health and safety of our customers and associates, which is always our top priority.
Were closely monitoring local and national reports on the evolving impact of COVID-19 and, based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization and applicable public health agencies, weve developed plans and established a task force that will allow us to respond timely and appropriately.
Our housekeeping and sanitization efforts in our stores have been greatly expanded. Were frequently disinfecting often-touched surfaces such as door handles, countertops, keypads, restroom surfaces, shopping carts and baskets. Were asking all of our associates (and we urge everyone) to follow the CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the infection.
We feel deeply for those who have been affected. Thankfully, as of now, were not aware of any associate contracting COVID-19. But we have implemented guidelines that instruct any associate who may develop symptoms or come into contact with infected individuals to stay home and follow the CDCs instructions. And impacted associates will be compensated for their missed work hours.
At this time, all of our stores are open for business during their regular hours to meet the needs of our customers. If we become aware of any condition in any store that would make it unsafe, please rest assured that well close the store until those conditions have been addressed.
Again, the health and safety of our customers and associates are our top priority and were committed to doing our part to help keep you safe.
Thank you,
This is the second corporate email I have received regarding the topic today and this one appears to be fairly reasonable. I highlighted a part that I felt important.
