On behalf of everyone at CGA, inc., our hearts go out to all those impacted by COVID-19—including friends and family of those diagnosed with the virus, but also those whose jobs and schools have been impacted and so many more.

   The state of Georgia has lifted the shelter-in-place response to COVID-19 as of today (May 1, 2020) and CGA, Inc. has begun to resume limited normal operations.

    However, we are still in a public health state of emergency and the coronavirus remains active, so we must all be cognizant of the ongoing and changing guidance regarding safety, therefore CGA, Inc. will be taking a cautious and considerate approach as to how we can best re-open our facility safely for our employees. Because much of our workplace functions through the exchange of physical items between staff members, some time will be needed to assess our environment to determine how we can integrate social distancing and heightened cleanliness policies into our offices.

   Additionally, because our operations have been limited to the manufacturing of acrylic protective equipment rather than grading, our first priority once we can safely resume grading will be placed on submissions which were due over the month-long restricted period in chronological order.

   We are still receiving submissions, however customers will not be immediately charged for incoming submissions nor will they enter the grading queue until we are able to work through the majority of our present workload. Once previous submissions are completed, we will announce the resumption of turnarounds and submissions will be billed in the order in which they have been received over the holding period.
