THE “NOVEL CORONAVIRUS”

 

Local 13 is currently aware of five (5) confirmed cases of the Coronavirus on U.S. soil.  We are also aware of the situation on the ground at Wuhan Province, China (inclusive of Wuhan Port, where thousands of confirmed cases have been established.  The situation there is extremely serious. 

 

At present, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has implemented detection activities (passenger screening) at several U.S. airports.  As yet, similar measures have not yet been implemented at U.S. seaports where the importation threat is less numerically severe.  The PMA and Local 13 are, however, monitoring unfolding circumstance very carefully. 

 

At present we would like to provide our rank and file with access to CDC’s increasingly active Coronavirus webpage, which provides an amazingly complete amount of information about this threat: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

 

Our best (conservative) advice:  Continue to monitor the CDC webpage for updates and contact Local 13 with any concerns or for updates.  Local 13 is working with PMA and the terminal operators to keep everyone safe during this current situation.
