Covid Information
Health and safety are always our top priorities at Metrolight Staffing Agency. We have implemented vigorous policies and procedures and are following all government recommendations about the new coronavirus (COVID-19).
Below you will find the latest information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including guidance on how to keep yourself and your loved ones
The CDC recommends everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of coronavirus, including:
- Wash your hands thoroughly or use alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick and encourage family to do the same.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and immediately wash your hands. No tissue? Cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- Practice social distancing. Maintain a distance of approximately 6 feet from others in public places since respiratory droplets produced by coughing or sneezing do not travel more than 6 feet.
- Wear cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission
