COVID 19 UPDATE
We sincerely hope this finds you all safe and well.
In comparison to a lot of countries Canada’s approach to tackling Covid-19 has worked well and we are beginning to gradually open up society to some semblance of normality. We are all pleased that our numbers are fairly low, but it must be said that we still have over 8400 deaths to which each has a story and a family who should not be forgotten in our thoughts and prayers.
Specifically, Intercontinental Van Lines has been open for business since the outset of the pandemic albeit with limited staffing and restrictions. As of Monday June 15th, we have started to bring back staff as business is showing goods signs of a healthy return.
Government restrictions are still in place in many areas regarding proper use of PPE and social distancing, but one main item offer the most challenge. All people entering Canada must go into quarantine for 14 days. Upon arrival they must present the authorities with a plan to do this or face the possibility that they will be placed in a nearby hotel or of denial of entry.
The usual and now familiar cautions are in place and include, the wearing of face masks, sanitization of truck and equipment and internal movement of people within the office and warehouse environments.
We have started to do in house surveys when requested or demanded, otherwise we are using a video remote system to complete survey which have proven to be quite successful.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about our services or indeed our Covid-19 contingency measure, we are here to serve.
