Athens Group Services works for numerous international, national, governmental, and non-governmental entities. Our surveyors work on every continent on Earth except Antarctica. The combination of organizational and geographic requirements exceeds our ability to write one overall policy for Novel Coronavirus COVID-19, Ebola, SARS, Avian Flu, or any other identified infectious disease. Instead of attempting to write an overall policy, we do the following for all our engagements:
- Prior to any Athens Group Services surveyor boarding any transportation to an engagement they must have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test within the valid timeframe of the host country.
- Prior to any Athens Group Services surveyor boarding any transportation to an engagement they must complete a full regimen of COVID-19 vaccines and present a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test within the valid timeframe of the host country.
- Adopt without reservation our clients’ policies and procedures for Novel Coronavirus COVID-19, Ebola, SARS, Avian Flu, or any other identified infectious disease.
- In the rare case that our clients have not adopted policies and procedures, we adopt the US Center for Disease Controls policies and procedures found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
- Face-to-face client meetings can take place within Athens Group Services offices, hired rooms or customer designated locations: a) where all the attendees have completed a full regimen of COVID-19 vaccines, or b) where all attendees are masked and are socially distanced by no fewer than 6 feet when one or more of the attendees is not fully vaccinated. When there are potential unvaccinated meeting attendees, Athens Group Services will seek a remote attendee option for the meeting.
