This is Week 8 in the fight to keep our associates safe and do our part in keeping our customers’ supply chains in motion in the wake of COVID-19. A lot has changed in the past eight weeks but through the determination of our associates and with the support of our customers we remain successful in our efforts to combat the Coronavirus and meet the needs of our customers and American consumers.
We will continue communicating with you weekly in this COVID-19 Update even as our efforts have shifted from initial response to control. As we move forward through the days and weeks ahead during the global pandemic, we will continue to follow the most recent recommendations of the CDC, World Health Organization (WHO) and the Surgeon General of the United States.
