Jennifer Lopez says that she is putting the safety of her family first as she reevaluated her life priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

JLo said that it became the number one thing that people, in a way, took for granted for so long. She added that not seeing her parents as much as she wanted becomes one of the main reasons that made her realize that health is one of the most important things.

"Different things like that where you realize health is thenumber one most important thing in our lives, so it became a huge priority," JLo was quoted on a People report.

JLo focuses on safety at work

As she talks about putting her family first, JLo is taking part in a new campaign to promote awareness about the WELL Health-Safety Rating, which is an evidence-based third-party designation ensuring that every building or space prioritizes the health and safety of everyone inside the establishment.

JLo says that with this she finds assurance that as she heads back to work that it will be safe.

She added that she has been pushing in her shoots that they follow protocols, which includes testing, wearing of face masks, and social distancing.

She said that as she continues to move forward, she wants to have a comfort level and a peace of mind as they enter back into a more normal routine, which she hopes that will be sooner rather than later.

JLo further said that it is important for her that when she gets back to work on stage and filming that she is confident that she is doing it safely for everyone.

WELL Health-Safety Campaign

The national advertising campaign explains the importance of health and safety through building design and operations as well as organizational policy.

Among the campaign's featured ambassadors are Robert DeNiro, Venus Williams, Wolfgang Puck, Deepak Chopra, 17th Surgeon General Richard Carmona, and Michael B. Jordan, according to a Financial Post report.

Founder of the International WELL Building Institute and CEO of its parent company, Delos, said that this is more than an awareness campaign. Paul Scialla said that it is meant to ignite a movement.

Scialla said that these ambassadors and cultural influencers are partnering with the campaign as they truly believe in the mission, as well as how critical it is to make buildings and shared spaces center on health going forward.

To rate the building, the WELL Health-Safety campaign look at fire core areas. These areas are cleaning and sanitization procedures, emergency preparedness programs, health service resources, air and water quality management, and stakeholder engagement and communication, according to a Business Wire report.

Each of the said areas require a minimum of 15 criteria to be met to achieve the rating and be given the WELL Health-Safety seal.

The seal that will be awarded to complying building and infrastructure will represent trust and confidence that is supported by science, structure and third-party verification.

Rachel Hodgdon, President and CEO of the International WELL Building Institute said that the seal was developed to address broader health and safety-related issues well into the future.
