This plan includes: • A mask mandate for all workers on site • A daily screening questionnaire prior to entering site • Frequent rapid testing for workers on all sites • Outdoor seating/break spaces to minimize indoor interactions • Mandatory isolation for any worker who may express symptoms • Crosslinx is encouraging all employees to make an appointment to receive a vaccine as soon as they are eligible to do so.
