Risks and uncertainties related to Covid-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was first identified in Wuhan, China. The global spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries resulted in the World Health Organization declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020. Many countries around the world, including the United States, subsequently imposed various degrees of restrictions and other measures, including but not limited to, mandatory temporary closures, quarantine and shelter in place guidelines, and restrictions on mass gatherings and on travel in an effort to slow and/or reduce the spread of the virus. Employers were also required to increase, as much as possible, the capacity and arrangement for employees to work remotely.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to evolve and remains highly unpredictable and dynamic in its duration and severity, many of these previously imposed restrictions and other measures have now been eased and/or lifted, while governments continue to monitor active cases and the health and safety of their citizens. The spread of COVID-19 and the related actions implemented by the governments of the United States and elsewhere across the globe, may worsen again over time. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a negative impact on the US and Global economies for the foreseeable future. Although, to date, these restrictions and the affect on the Global economy have not materially impacted the
Company's operations, the future effect on its business will largely depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Company continues to monitor its operations and applicable government recommendations and requirements.

 Any outbreak of contagious diseases, or other adverse public health developments, could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's business operations. These could include disruptions or restrictions on the Company's ability to travel, pursue partnerships and other business transactions, receive shipments of biologic materials, as well as an impact by the temporary closure of the facilities of its suppliers. The spread of an infectious disease, including COVID-19, may also result in the inability of the Company's suppliers to deliver supplies to them on a timely basis. In addition, health professionals may reduce staffing and reduce or postpone meetings with clients in response to the spread of an infectious disease. Though the Company has not yet experienced such events related to COVID-19, if they would occur, they could result in a period of business disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. However, as noted, as of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company has not experienced a material adverse effect on our business nor the need for reduction in its work force; and, currently, and it does not expect any material impact on its long-term activity. As noted, the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company's business will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, new information which may emerge concerning the increased severity of the COVID-19 virus, the actions to contain COVID-19, or treat its impact.
