Our management teams have taken comprehensive measures to reinforce safe work procedures and business continuity plans are in place with site-specific contingency considerations, should they be needed. Mandalay will continue monitoring information from governments and health organizations. The following protocols are in place at our operations: • Surveyed workforce to identify at high-risk employees; • Established clear policies for any workers displaying signs of illness. Employees or contractors cannot come to work if displaying any symptoms; • Intermittent on-site temperature checks; • Where possible, employees to work from home, and flexible work arrangements are in place to reduce contact between persons and maintain social distancing guidelines; • Sites have reviewed hygiene and sanitization protocols and increased frequency in cleaning of common and high-traffic zones. Additional hand washing stations installed; • Implementing risk management processes for crew shift changes to ensure social distancing protocols and reduction in movement of employees between crews; and • Restricting visitors to essential visitors only.
