As events surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to unfold, together we are experiencing the impacts of this global pandemic. The challenges imposed by this virus are being felt across the globe affecting families, communities, businesses and day-to-day living.

With a critical role in supplying face/eye shields and other medical supplies to respond to needs raised by COVID-19, Southmedic has a unique responsibility to support our customers and their patients during this public healthcare crisis.

We wanted to personally share with you what measures we are taking:

• Southmedic is enacting a pre-established plan for responding to the pandemic based on guidelines from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Ontario Public Health.
• The Ministry of Health and our Federal Government have been made aware that Southmedic is producing essential Respiratory and PPE supplies for frontline Health Care Providers and patients and have been very supportive.
• Southmedic has increased cleaning levels and disinfection capabilities by putting a RD UVC system in place in our facility to ensure the highest level of disinfection possible.
• Southmedic is preparing for an increase in orders and have notified our supply chain of the need to continue to receive materials necessary to continue to produce our products.
• Southmedic has a diverse network of raw/material sources and 2 separate manufacturing buildings, so we can shift seamlessly if one site is affected.
• Measures taken to date include: work from home, travel restrictions, UV disinfection of all high touch areas, increasing mitigation measures to control risk of potential exposure.
