We announce that our partner of the month for April 2020, as strange as it may seems, is COVID-19.
COVID-19, discovered in 2019, is a viral strain belonging to the subgenus Sarbecovirus, of the subfamily of coronaviruses (Orthocoronavirinae), responsible for diseases ranging from common cold to more serious diseases such as Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, but only six (229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV) were previously known to infect humans, so SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh. The substantial difference from the previous ones is the incubation period, which ranges from 2 to 14 days during which it does not cause any symptoms.
The origin of the coronavirus epidemic in China is probably a market in the city of Wuhan, in central China, where bats, snakes and other wild animals were sold in addition to fish. The virus was transmitted from animals to humans. Since then it has spread from person to person. The Chinese authorities fortunately have already closed the market, but the same situation might happen again under other circumstances.
Hemargroup decided to adopt the government suggested important countermeasures, which might be helpful for all manufacturing companies who want to follow the best practices.
In addition to these measures, in order to protect the health of visitors and employees, we decided to offer company visit tours ONLY in virtual form, thanks to the use of the latest digital technologies.
In the last months, we have seen the spread of this global pandemie. Even if the danger coefficient of the Covid-19 is low, it is having an impact on our economy, with many providers that were not able to carry on the orders, due to enforced closing as stated in government regulations.
