Love, People's March 17, 2020 Dear Valued Owners and Shoppers, In order to protect shoppers and staff in light of the current health situation, we will be taking the following measures at the Co-op
Sincerely, Jim Kase, General Manager March 15, 2020 Dear Valued Owners and Shoppers, I want to give you an update on the steps Ocean Beach People’s Organic Food Market is taking to protect customers and staff in light of the presence of corona virus (COVID-19) in San Diego County. Your health and safety are, and always will be, our highest priority. We have instituted a vigorous cleaning and sanitation program for all high traffic areas and hard surfaces in the store, including but not limited to: door handles, bathrooms, checkout stands, handrails, and sitting and eating areas. All passive demos have been suspended, as have the salad bar and self-serve soups and baked goods in our deli. We will still have soup available to be served by deli staff, and baked goods will now be wrapped and priced per package. We have suspended all public gatherings such as Community Room events, music in our deli, store tours, the Board of Directors candidate Meet and Greet, and the Annual Owners Meeting, although the Board of Directors election itself will continue. Staff have been instructed to stay home if they feel unwell, and will be asked to go home if they exhibit any symptoms of having the virus. We ask that our owners and shoppers refrain from entering the store if they have any of the symptoms associated with COVID-19, such as a sore throat, fever or respiratory discomfort. The current situation is fluid, and changing day-to-day. We ask that you check the Co-op’s website often, as that is the most efficient way to communicate our response to the rapidly changing conditions. Our efforts are focused on staying open despite the challenges of meeting the current sales demand and protecting the health of staff and the public. We are a strong community, and we will get through this together. Patience, mutual respect and diligence will be paramount in weathering what I hope will be a temporary disruption to our normal service. Yours in good health, Jim Kase, General Manager Click here for a Fact Sheet on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from the County of San Diego that also includes web links to further information.
