The team, comprised of executives and local site leaders, has been leading Centerra’s global response and has implemented a corporate pandemic response plan complemented by local site-specific crisis management plans. In 2021, the team engaged the services and guidance of ISOS, an external medical advisory service. This medical advisory service provides the team with the latest in pandemic developments and trends to assist with critical decision making related to the pandemic.
- Health and Mental Wellbeing Support: Centerra continues to educate and raise awareness on
COVID-19 facts and preventative actions through frequent communication with employees, and is directing leaders to offer compassionate support for employees who are concerned about their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their families. The Company is conducting temperature checks using non-contact thermometers and asking health questions of all individuals entering any of its sites. A standard operating procedure has been implemented in case there is a need for individual isolation and subsequent transportation from site for any individual who exhibitsCOVID-19 related symptoms. - Workplace Hygiene: All sites have increased daily cleaning of all common areas and spaces where there is frequent employee contact, including shared objects and any high-touch surfaces. Proper food hygiene and preparation practices have been reinforced at the Company’s mine sites which have on-site living quarters.
- Operating mine sites have been actively assessing the resiliency of their supply chain, increasing mine site inventories of key materials and developing contingency plans to allow for continued operations.
