Narrative:
Dealing with covid for 3 months now and platooning was helping. However; since platooning has ended social distancing has become very difficult and certain people are more cautious than others. I recently found out I have been in contact with someone who was positive (yet I wasn't named) when I went to management I was advised I would hear from hour if I came up in the investigation. The problem is who can remember who exactly and for how long they've come in contact with for 14 days? I am concerned about my health; my family's health and potentially causing harm to those around me. Tables have signage; temperatures are being checked; but at the end of the day we all have to work in close proximity to others. We don't have the tools readily available to prevent spreading the virus. There are no clorox wipes anywhere; we share room computers; we all touch the same door knobs; we all use the same fridge for our lunch; etc. If person a tests positive for it; the company is only investigating and notifying people person a remembers they came into contact with. Then they contact person B; C; D that were named; however; they don't speak to the people B; C or D came into contact with until B; C and D test positive. So all of the days in between we are constantly out in the open potentially spreading to everyone.
