COVID-19 Pluto variant response:

 

The first case of the new COVID-19 variant, Pluto, has been detected in the US. Although there is still a level of uncertainty surrounding Pluto, it is believed to be more contagious than previous variants, and more lethal than the Omicron variant. We are currently continuing operations as normal, but are preparing for limited operations as the situation develops. We are carefully monitoring the effects of this new variant, and we are strongly recommending that all employees get the newest booster shot. The health and safety of our employees and customers remains our top priority.

Although we wish that none of our employees catch the new variant, we recognize that is an unrealistic expectation for a company as large as ours. As such, employees that test positive for the new Pluto variant will receive paid time off during their quarantine period. We will be constantly monitoring the situation and communicating any new information immediately.
