Response from George's
"The health and safety of our team members is our number one priority", said Charles George, George’s co-CEO. “We are taking extraordinary measures to make sure our team members feel safe and empowered to come to work."... As an essential part of the food supply chain, George’s continues to operate supporting the demand for chicken, while doing everything in its power to protect its team members... The new protocols George’s has initiated include but are not limited to:
- Establishment of an internal COVID-19 Task Force that is responsible for monitoring and adopting policies and procedures...
- Team member screenings, including temperature checks...
- Enhanced cleaning and sanitation of all common use areas...
- Actively working to secure adequate supplies of face covers for team members...
- George's provides paid leave via our short-term disability program for team members who have extended absences due to COVID-19 or other serious illnesses and provides a similar benefit for team members who may be directed to self-quarantine based on potential COVID-19 exposure.
