CORT Responds to
COVID-19

 

Updated: March 22, 2021

 
 

We are excited to see the country start to reopen. We will do our part to make this a safe transition for our employees and our customers and will open our physical locations to the public as the government officials make changes in the markets we are in. This will be a fluid transition and we will keep our store locations updated here with all changes as they happen.

For those locations not opening to the public just yet, we are still open for ordering online and delivery Monday through Friday.

For the most up to date information regarding COVID-19 please go to the CDC Website.
 

As our company responds to COVID-19, the safety and wellbeing of our customers, employees and partners is always our top priority.

We are closely monitoring the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Our goal is to meet our customers’ needs while doing our part to take proactive measures to help keep everyone safe.

In order to maintain a safe environment and address customer concerns:

 
  • We have enhanced the process and frequency used to clean our furniture before and after each rental. We are paying special attention to touch points such as chairs, drawer handles, hard surfaces, lamp switches, upholstery and mattresses.

     
  • We continue to have our delivery teams clean and disinfect our product thoroughly upon arrival with additional focus given to surfaces and high touch areas.

     
  • In both our Housewares and Party Rental operations we continue to conform to local and state health laws regarding the processing of tableware, dishes and linens, which includes using industrial sanitizers in our machines used to clean our products.

     
  • We are cleaning our facilities frequently with recommended sanitizing products.

     
  • We are taking steps to ensure the welfare of our employees by following CDC recommended personal health practices which include instructing employees who feel ill to stay home and consult their healthcare providers.

At this time when the news is dominated by Coronavirus, I wanted to personally reach out and let you know that we are vigilantly following our current FDA mandated protocols and have added additional measures. The safety of our customers and employees is always our top priority.

What we are doing to ensure the health and safety of our employees:

Our Safety & Security Team is continually monitoring the situation and has been providing our employees with updated tips and guidance from the CDC and local health authorities on healthy workplace habits.

As always, we are taking steps to ensure the welfare of our employees. This includes instructing employees who feel ill to stay home and consult their healthcare providers.

We have hand sanitizer stations throughout our warehouse locations and delivery vehicles readily available for our employees to use.

As an extra safety precaution, we have mandated the use of surgical gloves for all operational employees while carrying out their daily duties.
