Wells Farm Dairy Limited statement re Coronavirus or 2019 - nCoV
Wells Farm Dairy is closely monitoring the impact of Coronavirus on our supply chain in order to continue to support our customers with uninterrupted supply. Active steps are being taken to mitigate any potential risk to our customers and staff.
The World Health Organisation has declared that the outbreak of 2019-nCoV, commonly known as Coronavirus, constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (30th January 2020).
We are monitoring the advice of Public Health England, NHS and the Foreign Office and all our staff have been briefed on best practice in accordance with the guidelines from these bodies and will continue to be reminded and updated with any new advice that becomes available. We are providing notices for staff at our sites along with hand sanitisers throughout our operational facility.
For those staff having leave for sickness noting symptoms of Coronavirus we are requiring 14 days of self-isolation. All members of staff returning to work following any absence are subject to return to work interviews to determine any members of staff who could be a risk.
To our knowledge no members of our staff have travelled to affected areas and we have no reports of any member of our staff with symptoms of Coronavirus.
We have also restricted visitors to our sites and are requiring that suppliers making deliveries to our sites are able to confirm that their staff have not recently travelled to affected areas and are symptom free.
This situation is being kept under constant review and customers will be notified at the earliest opportunity of any disruption in their supply.
