Action Inc. Operations Update as of 06.06.2022
In response to the latest CDC recommendations and Silver Bow County local transmission data, Action Inc. will be adjusting our mask requirement. Effective Immediately, mask wearing will be required for all employees, clients, students, families, visitors, and vendors. Action Inc. will continue to provide masks and have them available for all.
The CDC and local Health Officials recommend using COVID-19 Community Levels as a tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Below is an illustration of the recommendations at each level. The current Level of community transmission in Silver Bow County is HIGH.
Low
- Wear a mask based on your personal preference, informed by your personal level of risk.
Medium
- If you are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe illness
- Talk to your healthcare provider about additional precautions, such as wearing masks or respirators indoors in public.
- If you live with or have social contact with someone at high risk for severe illness, consider testing yourself for infection before you get together and wearing a mask when indoors with them.
High
- Wear a well-fitting mask indoors in public, regardless of vaccination status or individual risk (including in K-12 schools and other community settings).
- If you are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe illness
- Wear a mask or respirator that provides you with greater protection.
As local, state, and federal authorities release new health & safety guidance and data related to the coronavirus pandemic, Action Inc. will continue to update our employees on our related business practices as needed.
Additionally, the following protective measures are still in place at all worksites:
- Any employee who is showing symptoms of COVID-19 or feeling ill, will not come to work sick and notify their supervisor immediately.
- All employees, visitors, clients, students, families, and vendors will have access to disposable face coverings and hand sanitizer while on Action Inc. worksites.
- Routine cleaning and disinfecting schedules will continue at each worksite. Surfaces frequently touched by multiple people, such as door handles, phones, light switches, faucets, countertops, copy machines etc., will be cleaned and disinfected frequently throughout the day and based on the level of use. All disinfecting will be done with EPA approved disinfectants.
- Employees should limit the use of co-worker’s equipment and work tools (keyboards, phones, desks, pens etc.) To the extent tools or equipment must be shared, Action Inc. will provide alcohol-based wipes or other EPA approved disinfectants to clean equipment before and after use.
Apart from the mask requirement, all program operations protocols will remain in place at this time. If you would like additional information regarding the steps that Action Inc. is taking, please contact Jamie Paul at 406-533-6858 or jpaul@action-inc.org
We will continue to monitor the data and adjust our protocols in response to the county level data and CDC guidelines.
Thank you all for respecting the protective measures and each other as we continue to move through the pandemic.
