DIAM COVID-19 Weekly Case Count (March 26-April 1, 2021)

DENSO International America, Inc.
Weekly COVID-19 Case Update

This week, we learned that two (2) DIAM associates were diagnosed with COVID-19.

• One associate was last on site at DIAM Southfield on December 18, and received a positive diagnosis on March 27.
• One associate was last on site at DIAM Southfield in January 19, and received a positive diagnosis on March 29.

Because the associates have not been on-site recently, there is no need for additional cleaning and sanitizing. Please respect confidentiality, even if you believe you know who these individuals are.

DENSO North America
Weekly COVID-19 Case Update

This week at DENSO affiliates in North America, 42 positive COVID-19 diagnoses were reported. Throughout Canada, Mexico and the United States (U.S.), DENSO has reported a total of 2,938 total positive diagnoses.

Following local investigations into cases at DENSO facilities this week, most were classified as community spread (household, gatherings, travel, etc.). Three cases in Michigan were classified as workplace spread, so additional countermeasures are under discussion.

Exposed in Community – transmission attributed to community or home

Exposed at DENSO – transmission attributed to DENSO site contact

Unable to Determine – cannot confidently determine the source of exposure after thorough investigation (may have been exposed outside or inside of work)

Under Investigation – investigation is on-going both internally as well as with county health departments

COVID-19 Vaccine: How long does it take for the COVID vaccination to be effective?

It typically takes two weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. That means it is possible a person could still get COVID-19 before or just after vaccination and then get sick because the vaccine did not have enough time to provide protection.  People are considered fully protected two weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, or two weeks after the single-dose Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.

You should keep using all the tools available to protect yourself and others until you are fully vaccinated. After you are fully vaccinated, you may be able to start doing some things you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. Learn more about what you can do when you have been fully vaccinated.

Let’s Learn Together:  Do DENSO safety guidelines change when local/state government restrictions do?

DENSO’s Risk Minimization Toolkit, and policies for masking, cleaning and social distancing will continue to follow CDC guidelines. As COVID-19 variants increase the spread of coronavirus, we must remain committed to protecting ourselves and each other. As vaccination rates increase, some state and local government orders may change policies in your community, but DENSO policies have not changed. COVID-19 safety policies, including face masks, are required at all DENSO North America sites, and we recommend that you follow all best practices for COVID safety in the community as well, including during business travel.
