The corona virus 2019-nCoV, which recently emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan, has since spread widely. And even though no infections have been detected in Switzerland as of this morning, JDMT recommends that Swiss companies activate their company pandemic plan now. The primary purpose of activation is to maintain an up-to-date overview of the situation and to create the conditions to continue to react proactively, calmly and proportionately. JDMT supports companies in assessing the situation and all further measures in the context of an epidemic/pandemic. Please also see the situation update published by JDMT on 27 January 2020 (in German).
