Scruggs Realty has established this COVID-19 Prevention Plan based upon the information contained in “COVID-19 Industry Guidance: Real Estate Transactions” released by the State of California.  While this Plan addresses our company’s COVID-19 prevention processes, we understand there are additional requirements to be considered for persons who are more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection.  For example, certain groups including persons 65 years and older and persons with underlying medical conditions such as heart or lung disease or diabetes have a higher risk of hospitalization and serious complications due to COVID-19.  Accordingly, our company’s processes may be modified in some cases, as appropriate, in order to maintain the overall goals of preventing illness in the workplace and halting spread of COVID-19 in the community.

Our company continues to keep apprised of changes to the State of California’s Industry Guidance in addition to standards for compliance under our county’s health orders, Cal/OSHA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).

Overview
