Due to the increases in COVID cases from the Delta variant among both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, we are again increasing cleaning and disinfecting across all of our facilities. Please be aware that high-touch/contact surface cleaning is being performed on a regular basis by our janitorial staff, but we need help from each work center with this effort. To accomplish this, please ensure that each work area has all the necessary cleaning and disinfecting supplies. As a reminder, please ensure that you use the appropriate cleaning products for your work area, i.e., shipboard or non-shipboard, per TSO-1966 guidance.
For hand sanitizer station refills or additional cleaning supplies, please submit a request to EB Facilities by visiting the Facilities page on Homeport. If you need a dispenser in your area, please follow the same method to request one.
COVID vaccines are available at the Groton and QP EB Pharmacies. Employees and their eligible dependents who are immunocompromised can now get their COVID booster at the EB Family Wellness Center, provided they sign a form attesting to their eligibility.
Thank you for your cooperation and stay safe.
