My boss started a group text last night with all of her direct reports. Reading between the lines, I'm sure management was told that they need to verify that they can get a hold of their direct reports should a communication need to be cascaded quickly. My employer has autodialers for facility closings and such (like if we get hit by a blizzard), so I'm thinking that management must think that more tailored communications may be necessary in some cases--like Team X needs to stay home for three weeks because a member tested positive for COVID-19.

It's kind of funny, because there are no confirmed cases in the county. The closest cases are about 150 miles away in the Chicago area. One positive person did take an Amtrak train through our town where it did stop.
