COVID-19 Update April 28, 2020

Great News today! Delta Administrative Services was informed late yesterday that we have been certified as a Women Owned Business! So proud of our majority owner, Teresa Lawrence.

Louisiana like many other states have a plan to reopen. Governor Edwards had a press conference yesterday extending the state stay at home order until May 15th, with a couple of new changes to the rules.

Attached are two different articles that outline the new rules for Louisiana. The Mayor of New Orleans has come out and reaffirmed the May 15th time frame for New Orleans, but he also said the changes the Governor put in place will not apply to Orleans Parish.

NAPEO is our National Association for PEOs and has the finger on the pulse of small businesses across the country. We have attached their latest survey of PEO executives across the country. The executives were asked to give their opinions and other information as to how COVID-19 was affecting business. It’s interesting information from the PEOs perspective of our clients’ futures.

Also included today are a couple of articles that will be helpful as you prepare to reopen your business.

Lastly, we would like to remind everyone that if you need Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to reopen, we have what you need available. All our vendors have a 7-10-day shipping time frame. Please reach out to dassafety@deltapeo.com if you have any questions on ordering supplies.
