As a valued customer we are writing to advise
you of our current response to Covid-19. We continue to monitor and follow UK
Government advice with a focus on protecting our own people, customers and the
wider community and contribute to containing the spread of the virus and, in
turn, limit the pressure on our NHS.
This approach is at the forefront of our day to
day activities and, mindful that many of our colleagues and suppliers have a
need to interact with our customers whilst in relatively close proximity to
them we have instructed all staff across the business to take the following
actions
- Make sure you regularly and
thoroughly wash your hands with hot soapy water for a minimum of 20 seconds
- Avoid large gatherings, cancel
attendance at any large external meetings or conferences that are not business
critical
- Review travel plans to sites
and to attend meetings and avoid any unnecessary travel by using other
communication channels such as conference calls or skype meetings
It is understood that the virus is spread
through contact and being in close proximity to those that are already
infected. The added difficulty is that we are still in the cold and flu season
and, we are sure, you may have a concern that you don’t know whether the person
your teams are visiting has regular influenza or indeed Covid-19. The fact is
that you should treat both of these in the same way, especially if your team
members already have a weakened immune system for any reason.

Coronavirus Policy
Given this information it is important that we
maintain an honest and transparent approach to raising concerns about anyone
showing flu like symptoms or has any reason to suspect that they may have or
have come into contact with anybody that has returned from a high risk country
in the last few weeks.
It is important that we remain vigilant during this uncertain time and we will continue to monitor the situation and take all measures necessary to protect the wellbeing of our staff, customers and the wider community.
