Pandemic Plan - Martin Bros. Distributing

IMPORTANT - CUSTOMERS: For complete information, customers are strongly encouraged to visit our Coronavirus Customer Information & Updates page.

Martin Bros. is actively monitoring the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as well as its potential impact on employees, customers and those our customers serve. In the midst of incredibly uncertain times, we do know that there are precautions we can all take to reduce the likelihood that we will be exposed to COVID-19 and other communicable diseases.

Encouraging the following good practices can aid in preventing the spread of all communicable diseases:

  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Wash your hands frequently with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Cover your mouth with tissues when coughing or sneezing, and discard used tissues in the trash. You can also cough into your inner elbow.
  • Avoid others who are sick.
  • Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces often.
