If your property is no longer occupied for any reason, including moving workers to work from home due to COVID-19, we recommend checking your property insurance policy or contacting your Conner Strong & Buckelew representative to determine whether your property insurance policy has a vacancy provision. Such provisions, while not standard, may require you to take certain steps like drain water tanks, maintain temperature, remove all refuse or inform your insurer if your property falls below a certain occupancy level.
If your property is currently unoccupied, you may also want to consider taking steps to secure your property from loss. For your convenience, here is a list of recommendations that may be useful for your maintenance staff or building engineers as they determine the best practices for protecting your particular property. In addition, here is a publication from AIHA entitled Recovering COVID-19 Building Closures.
Additional guidance can be found on the CDC website, on how to disinfect your building.
