As New York "Reopens" business during the COVID-19 crisis, business owners are evaluating what actions they need to take to protect themselves, their employees, and their customers.

- When should my crew be screened for any illness?
- What sleeping or residential considerations do I need to keep in mind?
- What happens if one of my crew members tests positive for COVID-19?
- When do I support isolation or quarantine of crew members?
- What actions should I consider taking to prepare for Fall harvest?
- How do I make a NY Forward Business Safety Plan?
- What assistance or guidance should I expect from my local health department?
Participants are encouraged to register early and enter a question at the time of registration. Questions asked during the session will be addressed as time allows.
Panelists will include:
- Dr. David Bell, Public Health Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for the Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments
