Good day all,
We are all aware of the COVID-19 (corona-virus epidemic) spreading across the globe without boundaries and over the past two-week SA has te**es thousands of individuals with more than 270 positive cases for the COVID-19 virus. The well-being of our staff, our suppliers and our clients is a priority and it is for this reason we as Amoref is putting the following measures in place.
• Our staff is currently continuing with normal production while following the medical and sanitary guidelines stipulated by our government and the world health organisation. Our staff working out of country is recalled and will conform to self-quarantine measures and required by the South African department of health.
• All suppliers delivering to Amoref must ensure that they follow the same protocol’s and can contact our offices telephonically should they need any advise or information regarding these health protocol’s
• We ask our clients throughout the world and in Africa to avoid traveling to our factories, but rather do all meetings via Skype or WhatsApp. Plant progress viewing can be done by our sales staff walking with a GoPro camera supplied to them around the plants and uploading these videos for viewing.
I trust that we all agree to these control measures and collectively we will do our part in reducing the spread of this virus. Thank you in advance for you understanding and cooperation.
Our thoughts go out to the people and their families in South Africa and the world that has contracted the COVID-19 virus, wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Pierre Roux
General Manager
