Keeping safe during pandemic

Despite the measures in place as well as the vaccine, the heightened number of community of cases means that the virus is spreading more rapidly than before.

We encourage everyone to only go out for essential purposes during this time and to adhere to all measures.

Lastly, we wish the employee a speedy recovery.
