AUBURN Commissioner Sally Christner on Wednesday offered a three-page plan dealing with the prevention, reaction and preparedness for a potential COVID-19 outbreak among Androscoggin County government workers.
“There’s been some concern among employees about exposure to COVID and the notification of employees,” the Turner resident told fellow commissioners at their meeting.
Christner added that much of the concern dealt with communicating that information to other employees.
She offered a draft of a potential policy, which she called a “stop-gap measure” until human resources and the commissioners develop a more comprehensive and exhaustive policy.
She noted in the proposed document that, “This is a policy to address a distinct and recent workplace hazard and in response to concerns of Androscoggin County employees. It is not intended to be a permanent addition to the HR Policies of Androscoggin County.”
