Temporary Guidance
Performing Driver Training
We will continue to onboard new employees, as necessary, to continue operations. New
employee orientations should be broken down into groups smaller than 10 employees in a
room, with social distancing being observed (a minimum of six feet between each individual in
the meeting).
Local HR Services personnel have been instructed to ask all applicants and new incoming
employees, the following questions:
• Have you visited any country identified by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) as a level-3 country (currently China, Iran, South Korea, United
Kingdom and Ireland and most other European nations) within the past 14 days?
• Have you been on a cruise ship with a confirmed COVID-19 case within the past 14
days? Have you been in close contact (closer than six feet) with an individual confirmed
to have COVID-19 (the CDC defines close contact as household members and/or
caregivers in a non-healthcare setting)?
• Are you exhibiting symptoms such as a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing?
If an applicant answers in the affirmative to any of the above questions, they will be instructed
to reschedule their appointment after 14 days. If a new incoming employee answers in the
affirmative to any of the above questions, local services will delay their start date for 14
days. As per the Coronavirus Manager/Supervisor Guidance, should any new employee exhibit
a fever and symptoms, such as a cough or difficulty breathing, they should be provided with a
surgical mask and required to go home and seek medical attention.
The list of level-3 countries identified by the CDC is fluid and updated frequently. You should
visit the CDC website daily to ensure you have the most up-to-date listing of countries identified
by the CDC posted. Click here for an exhaustive list of these European nations found on the
CDC’s website: List of level 3 countries.
