NEWS ALERTS
April 17, 2020- As a result
of the extension of the quarantine period for an additional three
(3) weeks through May 3, 2020, after almost four (4) weeks of
lockdown, we believe it is now clear that even though we have all,
in one way or another, made adjustments to deal with and adapt to
the situation, we should recognize that the time for the reopening
of our economy and its recovery will probably be much longer than
originally anticipated. Yesterday, the White House published its
Guidelines for Opening Up America Again providing the
roadmap for states and territories to resume economic and commercial
activity, which also make it clear that the reopening process will
be prolonged and complicated.
To the extent that we have
to adapt to this new reality, in its role as an employer, the
private sector must be prepared to protect its employees, and in its
role as a provider of goods and services, its clients.
In order to respond to this
new state of affairs, at CCS we have organized a multidisciplinary
group for the purpose of assisting you in the management of the
various business issues that merit the utmost attention during and
after the ongoing Pandemic.
