Rambler Provides Update Statement on Covid-19
London, England - Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada - Rambler
Metals and Mining plc (AIM: RMM) ("Rambler" or the "Company"), a
copper and gold producer, explorer, and developer, advises today of
an evolving situation on the Baie Verte Peninsula in relation to
the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic.
Further to the Company's news release dated 22 September 2021,
the health authority reported on 24 September 2021 (at 5.30pm BST)
that there are a total of 109 active cases in the Province with 70
confirmed cases in the Baie Verte region, and 18 presumptive cases
pending official results. From Wednesday's update there are 39 new
cases reported in the Baie Verte region.
In conjunction with the province's increase to Alert Level 3
(rated between 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest), and to ensure the
health and safety of our employees, on Tuesday, 21 September 2021
the Company implemented Covid rapid testing for all employees who
come to work. To date, approximately 250 tests have been
administered by the Company with less than 1% being referred to
Public Health for follow-up.
The Company currently employees 280 people, including all
contractors and direct employees. As of the date of this release
the Company has been advised that approximately 7% of the workforce
are required to isolate for fourteen days. The requirements for
mandatory isolation by Public Health include but are not limited
to: direct contact with someone with a positive result; a person
who has not been vaccinated; a person with a compromised immune
system; a positive PCR COVID test result. If suspected cases are
identified during the in-house screening process, they will
immediately be referred to Public Health for further testing. To
further assist Public Health, Rambler intends to repeat the
in-house screening program weekly for all personnel until new
active cases in the region begin to decline.
According to Public Health, the vaccination rates in the local
region at 67% are lower than the provincial and national averages.
Rambler strongly urges all of its employees and contractors to
follow all public health guidelines including receiving the
recommended vaccines to combat this pandemic. The Company policy is
under continual review to ensure that the health and safety of all
employees is protected.
To date, the impact to the operation has been confined to minor
production and development delays due to the non-availability of
workers on certain shifts. Further impacts are expected for the
next few weeks during the mandatory isolation period but are not
expected to be long term.
Rambler will adhere to all guidance and directives issued by the
health authority. We are deemed to be an essential service by the
province and will implement any and all measures to protect the
health and well-being of our workforce.
We shall make further announcements as appropriate.
