We have used these reputable sources to aid communication with our employees about preventative measures, risk assessment and self-education about COVID-19. 
• We continue to provide our employees with regular communications as new information becomes available.
• WillScot follows all applicable federal, state and local guidelines issued with regard to COVID-19.
• We have minimized business travel and are utilizing conference calling and video features. In addition, we have eliminated all large gatherings.
• We have implemented accommodations processes, including work-from-home arrangements for some employees and are undertaking systems testing to ensure additional arrangements are successful and that our customer needs are met seamlessly.
