Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information
We are monitoring the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and taking steps to mitigate the potential risks to us posed by its spread. We provide a critical service to our customers which means that it is paramount that we keep our employees who operate our business safe and informed and we have taken and are updating precautions for that purpose. In addition, we have assessed and updated our existing business continuity plans for our business units in the context of this pandemic. We have taken steps to assure our customers that disconnections for non-payment will be temporarily suspended. We are also working with our suppliers to understand the potential impacts to our supply chain; if material negative impacts are identified, we will work to mitigate them. This is a rapidly evolving situation, and could lead to extended disruption of economic activity in our markets; we will continue to monitor developments affecting our workforce, our customers and our suppliers and take additional precautions as we believe are warranted.
