Special announcement Business Link Pacific on the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and our continued support to partners

Kia ora koutou katoa,

The sev-mic slowdown over an optimistic quick recovery. Business Link Pacific would like to encourage Pacific Islands-based businesses to follow best practices in developing their business resilience plans and contingency, both for natural disasters and public health crises affecting their operations.

To assist in these efforts, Business Link Pacific is working on contingency planning and relevant support packages for affected stakeholders. We will communicate the terms of our Covid-19 support programme in the coming days. In the meantime, here are some critical websites with relevant information about the impact of the Covid-19 virus, and the effects on businesses:

In addition, we have implemented the following measures:

• Suspending all international and domestic business travel
• Providing ongoing advice and communication regarding good hygiene practices
• Minimising face-to-face meetings to minimise risks
• Following current information and recommendations on contingency measures from the New Zealand government

We strongly recommend you adopt similar measures and follow national government recommendations.
