Extrait de la dernière update de Exploration (oui, oui, je sais…), deux communiqués venant de Panda Games Manufacturing :
#1 Official statement from 10.02.2020
"Due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation in China, our factory operations were suspended last week, and our workers remained on a government-mandated Chinese New Years holiday extension.
Today, we have made the difficult decision to postpone factory operations for 1 additional week, with factory operations now scheduled to resume on Monday February 17.
This additional week is not government-mandated, but we made this decision to protect our workers and reduce the chance of an outbreak. Many of our workers are just recently returning to Shenzhen, and one of the characteristics of the Coronavirus is that sometimes people are infected without immediately showing symptoms. We have a social obligation to provide a safe and comfortable work environment for our staff, which includes taking precautions to give each individual the confidence that they are not being exposed to a health risk at work.
During the week of Feb 9 to 16, our workers will undergo quarantine procedures, and their health and temperature will be monitored.
We have also established a task force to specifically tackle the Coronavirus and ensure that government regulations and health guidelines are strictly followed. Our workers will wear surgical masks, follow best practices for personal hygiene, and our factory will be regularly disinfected.
We realize that this additional week delay will have an impact on your production schedules, and for this we sincerely apologize.
We will continue to provide regular updates as the situation changes.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Panda Game Manufacturing"
#2 Official statement from 17.02.2020
"Due to the escalation of the Covid-19 Corona Virus situation, our production facility in Shenzhen will remain closed for an additional 2-3 weeks, likely until early March.
This precautionary measure is being taken to reduce the chance of an infection happening to our team which could have much longer term consequences.
Stopping the spread of the virus is a global issue and the local government has put in place a number of policies aimed at preventing the further spread of the virus including halting public transportation from affected areas and also asking companies for their cooperation in facilitating health checks for their staff.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
Panda Game Manufacturing"
En résumé, réouverture de l’usine repoussée à début mars, si tout va bien.
