CDS Management and F|Staff are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our employees. Our management team has developed the following COVID FAQ sheet to provide helpful information to our employees in response to COVID-19. This information sheet is based on most current CDC Quarantine and Isolation Guidance and subject to change when new guidance and regulation are available and provided by CDC. Please reach out to HR@fstaff.com or our management team for any questions.
To our Family of Drivers – We know how hard you work and how much time you dedicate to your profession. With this, we also know how much support is needed to ensure you can stay safe on the road. In relying on guidance from the American Trucking Association, we at F|STAFF utilize resources provided by that organization and leverage their knowledge and leadership. As an active participant in COVID-19 relief efforts and migration strategies, the ATA is a valuable resource that we recommend all drivers use for additional reference. Their information hug can be found at www.trucking.org/COVID19
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Anyone can have mild to severe symptoms. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
The date of your exposure is considered day 0. Day 1 is the first full day after your last contact with a person who has had COVID-19. Stay home and away from other people for at least 5 days. Learn why CDC updated guidance for the general public.
