IMPACT ON FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN
- As the government gradually reopens work premises sectors to operate, companies should put in place safe management practices as part of the operations. This means proactively identifying situations and practices which have higher infection risks, and implementing appropriate precautions and safeguards.
