US: DENSO Response to New CDC Guidance on Masks

What does new CDC Guidance mean for DENSO?

On Thursday, May 13, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released new guidance for fully vaccinated individuals. We know you are anxious to understand how these changes impact you.

Here is what you need to know:

• Updated CDC guidance is only applicable to fully vaccinated individuals.
• Within DENSO, we have many associates who have not yet had the opportunity to receive their full vaccination. The safety of all of our associates is our top priority and therefore we need to determine how to manage a blended work environment consisting of vaccinated and non-vaccinated associates.
• In addition to the CDC’s recent guidance, DENSO must also consider the following in updating our workplace policies and processes:

• • • Federal requirements including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) COVID-19 temporary emergency standard currently under review
    • Any applicable state and local requirements

• For now, DENSO will continue its current practices for mask wearing and social distancing at all of its North American facilities.

What’s Next:

You can expect another update next week as we work through balancing these new guidelines and their impact to our policies as we continue with our commitment to your health and safety.

DENSO strongly encourages all associates to get vaccinated at your first opportunity. In addition to on-site events, vaccinefinder.org can connect you with local vaccination locations.
