As we continue to monitor the federal and local response to COVID-19, the association has drafted a template letter for you to provide your employees that are commuting to and from work in the event that it should be needed. The letter referencesguidance issued last week by the Department of Homeland Securityregarding essential businesses. Individual states ultimately have the power to determine what businesses are essential, but at this time there have been no orders from states covered by AAAS/ATDA to our knowledge that conflict with the guidance issued by Homeland Security. Rest assured, AAAS & ATDA staff will continue monitoring the ever-evolving response to COVID-19 and keep you up to date on any new developments.
