Riverside, Calif., October 11, 2021
Dear Customers,
Last month we informed you that due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in Fujian and neighboring provinces our plant operated by ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ (Xiamen) Ltd. (“BXL”) in the city of Xiamen, Fujian province, the People’s Republic of China was under the risk of a 14-day government mandated lockdown.
We would like to inform you that the situation has been resolved in a positive way. The city of Xiamen is now classified as a COVID-19 low risk area. Xiamen authorities reported that there have been zero COVID-19 cases since September 29, 2021. Nearly all of BXL’s employees are now back to work with only five employees remaining under pre-caution quarantine due to COVID-19 outbreaks in their residential communities.
We are pleased to report that BXL successfully managed this situation without any major impact to its production or shipping plan.
BXL and ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ will remain vigilant in their efforts to keep our employees safe and healthy and should the COVID-19 situation change in the future in a manner that affects BXL, ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ senior management again will promptly get involved.
Yours truly,
BOURNS, INC.
