“Despite our good efforts, it has emerged that two of our staff have tested positive for Covid-19. While appropriate protocols have been activated to prevent infection from the affected staff, the situation calls from enhanced personal responsibility within and outside to protect ourselves, colleagues and families,” an internal memo signed by Managing Director Naim Bilal read in part.
However, the identities of those affected were not divulged.
