Pre-duty screenings will be standard for all Seneca County employees before starting work each day.
It didn’t come easy, but the Seneca County Board of Supervisors utilized a ‘Rule 29’ proceeding to bypass committee – where two supervisors voted against the measure – temporarily stopping it.
The new policy says that employees will have their temperature taken before working. They will also have to attest that they have not had symptoms, or knowingly came into contact with anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
It’ll be tracked within a wellness log, which is standard among many employers. The policy came from the County’s COVID-19 task force, and went before the Board of Supervisors’ Personnel Committee.
