Vaccine Priority for Security Guards.
Being Security Guard, it is
very difficult to manage and play roles and responsibilities during COVID-19
Situation. At The time of COVID-19 Pandemic, Security guards keep their own
risk factors aside and provide services to community sectors such as Hospitals,
Airports, COVID Centers, Shopping centers, Etc.
With the number of 1500 security guards, Citiguard is providing Superior service during the situation of the pandemic. They are at a substantially higher risk of exposure to COVID-19.
In one interview with news
channel, Sami Nomair the owner of Citiguard shares hard work and dedication of
his guards towards society and their duty.
They are following the
protocols of the government to the people to Wear masks, keep Social
Distancing, and use sanitizer frequently. So The vaccine of Covid-19 is a high
priority for the workers who stand for safety purposes in this pandemic.

Private Security Officers are on the Front Line Everywhere in Maintaining Public Order and Security in the Current Crisis
Washington,
D.C., April 15, 2020 salutes security officers across the United States
who are playing a crucial role in public safety amid the COVID-19
pandemic. There are over 1,000,000 private security officers in the
United States, outnumbering public law enforcement personnel by a margin of
more than two to one. As the current crisis severely strains law
enforcement resources, private security companies and their dedicated,
hardworking security officers increasingly are being relied upon to provide
vital security and support, including maintaining social distancing and other
health and safety requirements, at hospitals, government facilities, and
essential businesses. They are also safeguarding non-essential
businesses and other venues such as schools that have been closed but still
require security. While such public-facing roles come with
increased public exposure, security officers throughout the U.S. are showing up
for duty every day.
Recognizing the
essential nature of private security and private security officers during this
crisis, the Department of Homeland Security/Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency includes “personnel (front line and management)” in “private
security” in the category of essential critical workers related to “Law
Enforcement, Public Safety and Other First Responders”. Also, included in
that important category is “Security staff to maintain building access control
and physical security measures.”
In the United
States, the vast majority of security officers are employed by contract private
security companies. This means the security officers currently providing
security and public safety services on-site at medical centers, critical
infrastructure and manufacturing facilities, nursing homes, grocery and
hardware stores – practically everywhere --- are not employees of those
essential businesses. Nonetheless, it is those contract private security
officers and their companies who are ensuring the safe, continued operation of
those essential businesses. Their contributions are often
overlooked by politicians and the media.
Accordingly, as
Congress, the Federal government and state and local governments look to
provide accommodations or premium compensation to essential workers during the
COVID-19 pandemic, the essential service role played by security officers and
the essential business role played by private security companies cannot be
overstated, nor overlooked.

The Changing Role of the Security Guard during the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Los Angeles
During the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, all over the world, security guards are seeing their roles change as they have been enlisted to assist the community and the government in combating the COVID-19 in what may once have been seen as non-traditional security roles.
During this unprecedented time, security firms in the Los Angeles are asking their teams to pivot. From planning the logistics and security for the world’s largest critical care units for treating patients with coronavirus, to performing free local patrols to client premises during the lockdown to volunteering to assist the elderly, vulnerable or ‘at risk’ individuals who are unable to leave their homes, security companies of all sizes are stepping up to the challenge.
In a few short weeks, the sight of a security guard outside stores has become commonplace to ensure the safety of shoppers, limit the number of people who can enter a shop at any one time, and ensure social, or physical, distancing is maintained in stores. Prior to COVID-19, the retail guarding focus was traditionally aimed towards loss prevention and employee safety, although still an issue, it is no longer its sole focus.
Citiguard is now providing security personnel to hundreds of supermarkets across the country to assist with crowd management, ensuring social distancing is respected, and making sure the elderly, and key workers get access to their shopping hour.
Patrolling, key-holding, incident assistance, high-risk product protection to prevent theft, and worker welfare checking are only a few of the roles security guards routinely fill. But with most high streets and retail parks now shuttered, there has also been an increase in the need for mobile patrols in the Los Angeles to ensure the security of empty and closed commercial, retail, or office premises and additional security fire watch patrols.
Although drastic changes have been made to the market, such as removing all seating and changing to takeout options only to keep customers safe, the market will have security guards screening people before they go in and keeping track of numbers to control crowds.
Fortunately, some security companies were already equipped to meet the new challenges posed by the COVID-19 coronavirus before its outbreak. Thanks to new and improving security software, clients can have clear visibility into what’s happening at a vacant site through their own client portals. If an incident should occur, instant notifications are also sent and received by the appropriate person. Finally, the head office can communicate up-to-date COVID-19 (or other) information directly with teams on sites via message boards. If instructions change, information can be sent through updated post orders, and verified if the new instructions are acknowledged. It is precisely this kind of future-proof technology that is helping keep security guards safe as they work to keep the world a safer place. By adopting readily-available technology such as cloud applications that are optimised via cellular networks, security firms can be more efficient and increase the value of the service that they provide.
Citiguard security guards may not be recognized as often as front line heroes like the medical personnel, security guards are key workers, working behind the scenes to support critical infrastructure. Please don’t forget to recognize these outstanding women and men and the crucial work they are doing to keep everyone safe and secure on social media using front line security to show them we care.

Plan and Respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Businesses and employers can prevent and slow the spread of COVID-19. Employers should plan to respond in a flexible way to varying levels of disease transmission in the community and be prepared to refine their business response plans as needed. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), most American workers will likely experience low (caution) or medium exposure risk levels at their job or place of employment (see OSHA guidance for employers for more information about job risk classifications).
Businesses are strongly encouraged to coordinate with state and local health officials so timely and accurate information can guide appropriate responses. Local conditions will influence the decisions that public health officials make regarding community-level strategies. CDC has guidance for mitigation strategies according to the level of community transmission or impact of COVID-19.
All employers need to consider how best to decrease the spread of COVID-19 and lower the impact in their workplace. This may include activities in one or more of the following areas:
- reduce transmission among employees,
- maintain healthy business operations, and
- maintain a healthy work environment.
