COVID-19 Updates
A letter from the owner:
To our valued customers:
The health and safety of our North Central Medical Supply & Equipment employees and customers is our highest priority. Like so many of you, we have spent the last several weeks learning about the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and how it is impacting our world. For our Services, that means understanding how it affects our employees, customers and communities, and then making the necessary adjustments to our workplace and operations.
The situation is constantly changing, and we are closely monitoring guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and we will continue to gather as much information as possible and rely on their recommendation and expertise to inform our decisions. Some of WHO’s recommendations that we have passed on to our employees:
- Stay home when you are sick or have a fever greater than 99.9.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- Cover your cough using the bend of your elbow or a tissue
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid crowded locations of more than 10 people
Please know that NCMSE has standard practices for equipment disinfecting and, if necessary, equipment quarantine. All equipment is cleaned with Virex II 256, an approved chemical to kill the COVID-19 virus.
Please understand that what we are talking about today are standard operating procedure for NCMSE and have been for many years. The same procedures used to keep customers safe from infection everyday will continue to keep patients safe moving forward. It is our top priority to serve your needs in an effective and safe way and we plan to do so throughout this outbreak.
Finally, NCMSE wants to do whatever possible to accommodate you. We are prepared to be flexible to meet your needs and keep everyone involved safe. We will continue to closely monitor the CDC website and do all we can to protect you and our employees. Thank you for your partnership and your help as we all work through this COVID-19 outbreak.
Thank you,
Gretchen Rogers
Owner, North Central Medical Supply & Equipment
