Together, We Can Make a Difference

As we continue to hear more news about the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), in addition to the yearly influenza, it is important for everyone to practice good hygiene and take other precautions.  Our chief concern is always the safety and health of our associates and customers.  We are carefully monitoring the recommendations of government health agencies, such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), about the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and urge you to educate yourself about the disease and follow the suggested precautions.

While the emergence of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is an evolving situation with many unknowns, we are sure of one thing: We will do our part to help the people of the Twin Ports. prepare.  As a team, we can help slow the spread of the virus by working together.  We are encouraging all of you to take care of yourselves, your families, and ultimately our customers.  To encourage healthful living, we have enhanced wellness practice opportunities for our team and below is some guidance on healthy practices at work.  If you are not feeling well, please stay home.

Working Together To Protect Our Dealerships and Our Community

There are everyday preventive measures and practices we can all use to stay healthy and help prevent the flu and other viral infections:

  • Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unclean hands.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
  • Utilize tissues for sneezing, coughing, and spitting.
  • Dispose of used tissues in appropriate receptacles, rather than reusing.
  • At home and at work, clean frequently touched surfaces.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick (within 6 feet).
  • Stay home if you are sick, to prevent spreading germs.  Be abundantly cautious.
  • Get plenty of rest, eat healthy meals, consider vitamins/preventative supplements.
  • Utilize hand sanitizer between washings (contact maintenance if additional supply is needed).
  • Stay informed and follow the advice of the CDC (see attachments).
