Vermeer has been informed that a team member has tested positive for COVID-19. According to a statement released earlier today, Vermeer reports that the individual has not been on campus since the week of March 9. Vermeer Corporate Communications indicates the company is working with the appropriate health officials and are responding as recommended by the CDC, WHO, federal, state and local government.

Vermeer COVID-19 protocols taken thus far have included working from home models for those whose roles allow, self-isolation following travel, and daily wellness screenings. As a result of these protocols, no Vermeer team members have been in direct, physical contact with this team member since the week of March 9, nor has this team member been in areas requiring additional, deep cleaning onsite.

From Vermeer:
“Vermeer will continue all COVID-19 processes to protect our team members, such as practicing social distancing, continuing our enhanced cleaning regimen, daily wellness screenings onsite, limiting travel, restricting visitors and more. In addition to these existing protocols, we will begin requiring temperature checks upon entry to Vermeer facilities. Additionally, masks will be available for team members to wear during working hours.”

Out of respect for employees, and to keep health information confidential, Vermeer will not communicate externally if a Vermeer team member has tested positive for COVID-19 moving forward. Team members will be informed so they can take appropriate action.
