12.    COVID-19

 

The Company continues to monitor the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, further government response, and development of treatments and vaccines and their potential effect on our short-term and long-term financial results and liquidity.  These events could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of our 2021 financial results.  Local, state and national governments have designated transportation as an essential service.  The Company has made a variety of efforts to ensure the ongoing availability of Saia’s transportation services, while instituting actions and policies to help keep employees and customers safe, including limiting physical contact, implementing enhanced cleaning and hygiene protocols at Saia facilities and implementing remote work arrangements, where possible and appropriate. 

 

The Company has considered the impact of COVID-19 on its estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s financial position.  Given the uncertainty surrounding the duration of the pandemic, it is possible that these assumptions and estimates may materially change in the future.
