OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19
March 27, 2020
RE: COVID-19 Response & Preparation
Dear GBCFC members and shoppers,
The Great Basin Community Food Co-op along with its Local & Regional producers, and devoted
membership, form a network that is a vital resource to the community. The recent outbreak of COVID-
19 has shown this to be true, perhaps now more than ever before. The last few weeks have been a
whirlwind at the store and we are grateful for all of your support. While most of the world hunkers
down, a group of dedicated humans – farmers & ranchers, packers & shippers, truck drivers, grocers &
restaurants – are working hard to ensure a constant supply is available. We wanted to reach out to let
you all know that we are taking this situation seriously and are continuing to make adjustments as
things change to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. After all, we exist to meet the needs of
our community. Below are the changes we have made in response to this outbreak thus far.
• While GBCFC has had no reported COVID-19 infections in our co-op, we have asked any staff
exhibiting symptoms of respiratory illness or fever to stay home and notify their physician. If
they are given a clean bill of health from the WCHD, we are requiring that the staff member
wait additional days [symptom free] before returning to work.
• Co-op staff are regularly sanitizing all high-touch areas with a bleach solution. This includes all
door handles, carts and baskets, scales, scoops, spigots, tongs and all other hands-on zones of
the bulk and produce departments, register areas, POS keypads and terminals, railings and
doors.
• All staff are required to wear gloves, to be changed regularly, including after handling cash at
the register.
• We are encouraging shoppers to pay with card rather than cash.
• While the CDC is not recommending masks for grocery store workers, filtered masks are
available for use by all staff members and many of our staff members have chosen to wear
them.
• All sample stations have been removed from the sales floor.
• The Food Shed Café is closed, and public access to the entire 2nd floor of the co-op is blocked.
This includes restrooms.
• We are working closely with our suppliers to ensure we have the essentials that you are
seeking, like pantry staples, cleaning supplies, and health and body care items. Some of our
local restaurant owners have shifted their operations to in-house production of take-home
items like sauces, breads and pastas, which we are continuing to make available on our
shelves.
• A senior shopping hour has been implemented daily from 7:30am to 8:30am. This includes
anyone age 65 or older, pregnant women, and shoppers with a compromised immune system.
• We are strictly enforcing a “singular shoppers only” rule. This is helping to reduce the number
of humans in our store at a time. Signs are posted to the front door, and our staff is asking any
groups or pairs of shoppers who approach to only send in one person. Given that our store is
small and space is tight, this is crucial in helping ensure 6ft of space between shoppers.
• We are asking that any customer who may be sick please stay at home.
• The co-op is launching an online store, with curb-side pickup and delivery options. Our food
hub DROPP has also made adjustments to their listings and delivery patterns to accommodate
this endeavor.
Throughout all of this, we are making additional efforts to demonstrate our gratitude to our staff who
continue to work each day with commitment, compassion, and kindness to ensure our stores are
stocked, clean, and ready to serve you.
We anticipate that guidance from federal, state and local agencies may change rapidly over the
coming days and weeks. We will continue to monitor and adjust our operations to prioritize the health
and safety of you and our staff.
We know you have many choices when it comes to where to purchase groceries. Thank you for
choosing our co-op and for being an integral part of our community!
In Safety & Solidarity,
