With the federal vaccine mandate still in legal limbo, we are faced with continued uncertainty about the potential implications. We will provide updates as details become available.
COVID Cases Trending Upward in Many States
- Michigan is experiencing a COVID surge.
- Ohio’s coronavirus numbers are on the rise.
- Indiana is seeing a slight resurgence in COVID cases.
There is concern that case rates will continue to increase throughout the holiday season. The CDC recommends wearing a mask indoors in public while in areas of substantial or high transmission rates, which currently applies to all Schupan locations. As a reminder: masks are required in Schupan’s public, shared spaces where 6-feet of distance cannot be maintained and/or employees share prolonged exposure (5 minutes or more) with others.
Update: Michigan is now under a mask advisory.
Breakthrough cases are also increasing, indicating that protection from the vaccines decreases over time but still offers some protection from serious infections requiring hospitalization. Today, CDC authorized the COVID-19 booster for all adults 6 months after vaccine completion. If you have not yet received your booster or COVID vaccine, find a provider near you at vaccines.gov.
We are extremely thankful to see Schupan’s vaccination rate increase to 52%! Your dedication and continued efforts to make Schupan a safe and successful workplace are appreciated by all.
