PMMI Addressing the Coronavirus

PMMI is following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidance and making updates daily.

COVID-19
PMMI is monitoring the coronavirus situation and following CDC and WHO guidance.

As we find ourselves in the midst of a public health scare that is affecting our staff and colleagues, and may disrupt our business, OEM thought it would be helpful to share what PMMI is doing with our staff. This is intended to provide information; we recognize that some points will not apply to all PMMI members, every employee, every OEM reader or every situation.  

 

Most importantly, PMMI formed a coronavirus task force to meet regularly and work to keep PMMI staff informed and prepared for a variety of scenarios. After that, the most critical thing PMMI is doing is communicating to staff regularly so that everyone is reassured that PMMI is monitoring the situation and reacting in a responsible way.  And, the task force has mapped out a variety of contingency plans, including a potential response to a direct or indirect exposure to the coronavirus. It is impossible to anticipate every conceivable scenario, but these are addressing those that the industry may face in the coming days and weeks.

 

Here are examples of PMMI’s two most recent all-staff emails.
