COVID-19 Update Half-Year FY 21
-
COVID-19 impacted ability to reach specifying clinicians and our immune compromised clients globally
-
In Q2 there was some easing of sales staff access in the USA, but correspondingly a tightening of conditions in Australia. COVID-19 stalled international access and sales
-
USA remained challenging in terms of number of COVID cases continuing to increase
-
We practice a high degree of hygiene throughout our business to keep staff and our clients safe, but the continued uncertainty caused by COVID-19 outbreaks and mutations means the risk of business interruption remains high
