    As we continue to deal with meeting the obligations of the “Stay-at-Home” Order that was extended through May 1st, we have worked through several alternatives to continue our safe operation of Essential Duties and Business Operations.  We have taken the past few weeks to further expand our social distancing efforts in accordance with the Order, erecting barriers where necessary, taping out floors for social distance requirements, securing additional protective equipment and evaluating the facility staffing levels.  In doing this, we have established a plan for the remainder of April for our employees.
