Asking staff who are experiencing symptoms of illness to seek medical advice, stay home, and remain in contact with their supervisor.

Practicing social distancing amongst staff members on a daily basis.

Allowing clients to check-in for their appointment and wait in their vehicles if they are more comfortable.
