Introduction

In early March 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the Wuhan Coronavirus as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways.

Meyertech has and will continue to follow and implement the guidance set out by Public Health England and the UK Government to protect the health and safety of its staff and continuity of its business as the contagion develops.

At the forefront of Meyertech’s COVID-19 BCP is the ability to continue to deliver products and services to our customers. As one of your crucial business partners Meyertech has put into operation its COVID-19 Business Continuity Plan (BCP).
