A ULA employee in one of our Denver facilities tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on April 6, and we are taking all necessary precautions to protect the health and safety of our teammates and facilities. Our best wishes are with this person as well as teammates and family members affected by the diagnosis. We are working with the Tri-County Health Department and following U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protocols to slow the further spread of COVID-19 by closing the floor of the building that has been exposed to the virus and following stringent cleaning and disinfection protocols.

 

Our early and aggressive COVID mitigations have limited the number of personnel exposed. We are executing our prepared and rehearsed response plan and anticipate no impacts to our manifest. ULA continues to proactively take steps to protect our people, slow the spread of the virus, and maintain national security.
