Covid-19 exposure prevention, preparedness, and response plan for foley products

On April 2, 2020, Governor Kemp issued Executive Order to Ensure a Safe & Healthy Georgia. This Executive Order became effective at 6:00 pm on April 3, 2020, and runs through April 13, 2020, at 11:59 pm. Among the many directions that the order provides is for Georgians to “shelter-in-place” unless they are engaging in certain activities. Pursuant to the Executive Order, certain “critical infrastructure” businesses, establishments, corporations, non-profit corporations, and organizations, as defined by the U.S. Homeland Security, are considered “Critical Infrastructure” and can remain operational.

Is Foley Products Operating During The COVID-19 Pandemic?

Yes, we are operating during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is a state agency that is deemed by the US Department of Homeland Security Cyber and Infrastructure Agency Memorandum to provide Critical Infrastructure and thus should remain open at this time. As a supplier of cement pipe and precast critical to infrastructure, we are fully operational.
