Following the DORSCON orange alert issued by MOH on 7 February 2020, we will be stepping up our precautionary measures and implementing the following initiatives across our operations in Singapore.

As of 7 February 2020, none of our employees has travelled to China in the last 14 days, or has any immediate contact with any persons on Home Quarantine Order (HQO).
Daily Temperature Checking
Employees will be required to record their temperature twice daily – in the morning when they report to work, and in the afternoon no later than 2pm. Employees who are unwell, or displaying flu-like symptoms with temperature exceeding 37.5°C, will be sent home and be required to seek immediate medical attention.

All large-scale events will be temporarily suspended until further notice. This includes the regular BREW by Darker Than Wax, and The Analog Assembly to be held at Chye Seng Huat Hardware.

However, the company will be taking additional precautionary measures such mandatory travel declarations and temperature checks to ensure the wellbeing of other employees and students. Participants who have registered for the workshops will be offered a full refund if they choose to cancel and/or withdraw from the scheduled workshop three (3) working days in advance.

To manage the lunch hour crowd at the respective venues, we will also be looking to work more closely with food delivery partners.
