Hello. How long are you placing shipping boxes and envelopes in quarantine
before your acquisitions staff unload the materials to begin the
receiving/invoicing process? Do you also quarantine them once unboxed? I
know that the REALM Project <https://www.oclc.org/realm/home.html> is
offering data, but I would like a practical recommendation that seems to be
working in libraries.

We have staff who are very concerned about the possibility of infection
from COVID-19.

Thanks so much.
Christine
