EdgeOne Medical Response to COVID-19

published on March 23, 2020 by Lilli Zakarija

As the situation with COVID-19 is extremely dynamic, we at EdgeOne Medical are continuing to make proactive decisions that are grounded in care for our employees and their families and serving our clients.  Below you will see the changes we have made to our operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given our great passion for advancing healthcare we cannot standby as a spectator during these unprecedented times.  We are actively engaged and working with select projects to accelerate the development and regulatory approval of COVID-19 diagnostic tests and therapeutic innovations.  We are also prepared to take on and prioritize any other COVID-19 related projects in which you may require support.   If you need help in any manner we are prepared to respond immediately with all of our capabilities.

EDGEONE OPERATIONAL CHANGES

On Friday, March 20th the State of Illinois issued an order for shelter-in-place for the entire state. And to slow the spread of the virus, we have instructed our employees to work from home, with the exception of the employees essential only to our laboratory operations.   

In addition, following are the critical changes EdgeOne has implemented for our laboratory operations:

  • Limited number of personnel per shift
  • Social distancing is to be maintained during all testing and throughout facility
  • Disinfecting of equipment, lab benches and workstations daily
  • Disinfecting of common areas and high contact surfaces several times a day
  • Facility is shutdown to external visitors
  • Anyone showing any signs of illness is to remain home

As the situation continues to evolve, we may implement additional changes to our operations as required.  Please call with any questions or needs.

Thank you for your support, your partnership and your understanding during these uncertain times. Wishing you and your families good health. 

Warmest regards,

Lilli Zakarija

President & CEO
