The virus outbreak emerged in Wuhan, China, and has spread to half a dozen other countries, including Vietnam. Since then, there has been a huge increase in the number of cases and so far (February 14, 2020) has not shown signs of remission.
At Thygesen, we have taken measures to prevent and control Covid-19, and seriously implement isolation and self-isolation measures to ensure employee health protection in both Thygesen Representative Office in Hanoi, TSV Factory in Phu Tho, and Textile Factory in Hung Yen.
1. Cases of suspected signs of virus infection are isolated at home for 24 days under the Health Ministry’s recommendations.
2. Using disinfectant and antibacterial spray for the office and the whole working area.
