Daily Ops Update – 3/24/2020

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we face many decisions impacting how we care for our employees and how we care for and serve our business partners and customers. As government decisions and guidance are released, we will keep you up to date on how those decisions impact our operations and, in turn, may affect you and your business.  

We continue to work with Pennsylvania state officials to explore options that will allow our temporarily paused facilities in the state to reopen in a way that assures the health and safety of our employees.
