To Our Valued Customers:

It has been more than a year since the first case of COVID-19 in the U.S. was confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As we begin to emerge from the shadow of the historic COVID-19 pandemic, we look forward to brighter days ahead, keeping in mind the far-reaching impacts of personal loss, economic uncertainty, and social dislocation. We are encouraged by recent trends, including reduced case levels and fatalities, and increased rates of vaccination. There is light at the end of the tunnel and we are confident that this experience will strengthen our collective resilience.

Your health security remains our top priority. Since the release of our comprehensive Health Security Plan in May of last year, we have implemented a science-based set of measures intended to provide healthy workplaces. In consultation with industry experts and in response to guidance from public health authorities, we will continue to operate under the necessary restrictions and operational practices to mitigate the risk of infectious disease transmissions at our properties.

This public health crisis has exposed the vulnerability of our population and of the communities in which we live and work. It has also revealed the remarkable potential we have to adapt, innovate, and come together to support the measures necessary to create a better tomorrow. We are committed to continuing to do the work necessary to maintain the health security of our properties and our communities, and are confident that, guided by the measures included in this plan, we can move forward together.
