MIDRAND, South Africa – 19 March 2020 – TYRES & MORE®, a leading national chain of automotive fitment centres, and a division of TiAuto Investments (PTY) Ltd., today announced that as part of its efforts to help reduce the spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), it has implemented stringent cleaning and hygiene protocols at its fitment centres, countrywide.
“Accordingly, all TYRES & MORE® store managers and staff have been trained and equipped with the necessary tools to ensure that surfaces in high-contact areas are thoroughly cleaned at frequent intervals throughout the day, in keeping with new heightened cleaning protocols, based on guidelines from the World Health Organisation (WHO),” said Alex Taplin, CEO of TiAuto Investments (PTY) Ltd.
The company has also rolled out emergency kits consisting of manual hand sanitiser dispensers and sanitising spray to all fitment centres. Taplin says employees are being encouraged to “wash their hands often”, to maintain a social distance of at least one metre from colleagues and customers, and to stay home if they have a fever or develop other symptoms. Employees showing signs of any sickness will be sent home and advised to seek medical counsel.
“This outbreak is uncharted territory for our modern world, and it’s safe to say that it’s by no means business as usual anywhere on Earth right now. That said, it’s necessary for people to remain mobile in these trying times, and we’d like to assure our customers that they can confidently visit our fitment centres, knowing that we are taking every possible precaution to help safeguard their health and wellbeing.”
