We may be tired of the Coronavirus, but it isn’t tired of us. So don’t let down your guard! Several states across the country are experiencing significant spikes in new cases and hospitalizations of patients with COVID-19, reminding us that we do need to continue to be diligent – social distancing while at work and outside our homes, wearing masks while in public places and washing our hands well and often. A number of states – including New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as the cities of Chicago and Philadelphia, are now advising or requiring individuals who travel from COVID-19 hotspots to quarantine upon return.

As essential workers, Exelon employees are exempt from these travel restrictions.
However, non-remote employees traveling to or returning to New York or Chicago from one of the “hotspot” states will need to notify OHS to comply with local requirements. We also strongly advise that you do limit your contact with people outside of your households, avoid non-essential travel and follow all CDC recommendations to prevent contracting the virus. If you have questions about the travel restrictions in your location, please check your state or city website.
