With the threat of Covid-19 in Vladivostok, the Russian Fishery Company has introduced measures to prevent the infection spreading, and has since 22nd April been testing staff for coronavirus.
The company reports that it is using a reliable method that is effective in diagnosing infection at an asymptomatic stage.
“The safety and health of employees is a key value of the company. We are taking a number of preventive measures to ensure the protection of health and prevent the spread of a new type of viral infection. Testing for Covid-19 by an accredited medical laboratory is among these measures,”said RFC’s CEO Viktor Litvinenko. “The scanning process eliminates crowding so as not to expose them to danger of infection.”
The Russian Fishery Company has gone to a high alert mode, with remote working introduced and any travel outside the immediate region is discouraged, while staff have been given advice and recommended working practices to prevent the spread of the infection.
Those working at RFC’s facilities are provided with the necessary personal protective equipment, stringent hygiene guidelines are in place and health monitoring is mandatory, with staff required to maintain a daily health journal.
On board company vessels, in offices and any shared areas and workplaces, regular disinfection is carried out, and additional stocks of disinfectants, PPE and medicines have been sourced.
