To deal with this international public health emergency of COVID-19, governments in all the countries in which we operate have adopted various containment measures, essentially aimed at restricting the free movement of people, which include quarantines, social isolation and the temporary closure of companies and businesses, among other measures. Governments have also taken measures to preserve access to essential services during this health emergency, such as water and electricity, especially targeting lower-income residential customers, small and medium-sized businesses, and institutions providing other essential services, such as health facilities.

Based on the information currently available, in a scenario of continuous evolution, regarding the spread of infections and the containment measures taken by governments, it is not possible at this time to quantify the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic could have in our business. However, because our Group has an integrated business model throughout the value chain, a solid financial structure, and a level of digitization that allows us to guarantee the continuity of operational activities with the same level of service, as of the date of presentation of this report, there is no evidence of a significant impact of COVID-19 on the Group.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus 2019, or COVID-19, “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On March 11, 2020, the WHO confirmed that the outbreak of the COVID-19 has risen to the level of a pandemic, which could significantly affect all the countries in which we operate as well as our trading partners inside and outside of those countries.
