The President’s call last night was for a total lockdown for 21 days. However Essential Services are to continue operating so that those services are not disrupted. In continuing operations the President also also called on all Essential Service businesses to take every precaution to minimise the risk of the spread of the virus.
 
Since we issued our COVID-19 response to the national shutdown, we have been inundated with calls and emails from operational Essential Businesses requesting masks for their own staff as an added precaution and risk mitigation measure. This is extremely encouraging and shows that as employers and business owners we take the well being of our staff as well as their families seriously. 
 
Our Facial Contact Barrier masks are neither respiratory, surgical nor medical masks. However they do prevent staff from touching their faces which is what the call has been from the start of the pandemic. 
 
These Facial Barriers are washable and reusable thereby extending the life of each unit. This gives businesses extended value for the initial investment. 
 
Our production lines are working overtime to meet the demand and backorders in the system. The masks are being issued in packs of 10. Should you wish place an order for your staff please email sales@plastipak.co.za or call us on (031) 305 4549.
