- Increase cleaning of common areas.
- Increase social distancing through alternative scheduling or modified tasks to keep employees 6 ft from one another.
- Communicate and encourage employees to be transparent about their own health and to stay home if feeling ill.
- Limit or decrease significantly on farm meetings of 5 or more individuals as well as meetings outside consultants unless absolutely essential.
