Here is an update as to the measures taken so far:

1. We have closed our offices to visitors. Deliveries will still be received from drivers who do not require a signature, or physical contact.
2. Employees who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness are recommended to stay home and not come to work.

4. Promote regular and thorough handwashing by employees, contractors, and customers.
5. Instructed staff to cover their nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or flexed elbow.

7. Employees who have traveled for business or personal reasons to any high-risk coronavirus area, have had family members who have done so, and/or who have been in proximity to anyone suspected of having or confirmed with the virus with in the last 14 days, to self-isolate at home for the next 14 days.

Regarding the monitoring stations that operate 24/7/365, the additional following measures have been implemented:
