Micron is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, and the overall safety of our team members, customers, contractors, vendors and visitors is our top priority. With the increase in novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases globally, we have proactively implemented health screenings at many of our global sites and travel restrictions. We believe that the uncertainty surrounding the developing novel coronavirus situation warrants applying an abundance of caution.
As governments across the globe lift, prepare to lift or ease restrictions on businesses with remote workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Micron is developing return to on-site work protocols to prioritize the health and safety of our teams (Micron COVID-19 playbook). We are carefully assessing risk in each location to protect our teams and support business needs. We are planning to take a phased approach to having team members return to work on-site over time. The exact timing for team members to return to the office will vary by location, job role and business needs.
Meanwhile, we will continue to enforce the strong preventative measures we implemented at our sites from the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, and deploy new protocols as needed, to maximize safety. These include putting health screenings in place, requiring social distancing, establishing team separation protocols at all our sites, prohibiting visitors, suspending business travel, and requiring teams to wear masks at Micron sites. We continue to monitor our operations to ensure we safeguard our 37,000 team members in 18 countries, while continuing operations at all our sites across the globe.

For all industry tradeshows, conferences, trainings, seminars and workshops, our involvement will be virtual participation.
Overall Travel and Site Health Protocols
Micron has put specialized measures, including travel and health screenings, in place for all countries. All team members, contractors, suppliers or visitors must self-quarantine if they have traveled outside the immediate area, by air, sea, rail or bus in the past 14 days. This applies to both business and personal travel.
Global Business Travel Guidance
We recommend that all global nonessential travel by our customers, contractors or suppliers, regardless of location, be delayed where business allows.
Visitors to Micron Sites
External visitors, suppliers, vendors or contractors should not come to a Micron site unless there is a business-critical need. This guidance includes people visiting our site for business meetings. If meetings can be conducted online or via video conference, we encourage you to conduct business using available online tools.
Site Health Protocols
Team members, contractors or suppliers traveling outside the immediate area, by air, sea, rail or bus are required to notify their direct supervisors, hosts or local Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) teams. They will not be allowed to return to a Micron site for 14 days. Day one is counted as the first day after they have returned from the trip.
