Description
BP PLASTICS HOLDING BHD - TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF FACTORY DUE TO COVID-19 AFFECTED WORKERS
The Board of Directors of BP Plastics Holding Bhd ("BPPLAS" or "the Company") wishes to announce that, BP Plastics Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, had on 19 March 2021 conducted a surveillance and Covid-19 Antigen re-testing for 24 employees that begins to show some Covid-19 symptoms this week. Although the initial Covid-19 full screening of all foreign workers in February 2021 did not result in any Covid-19 cluster, today’s surveillance screening and re-testing exercise of employees with symptoms and their close contacts resulted in 14 employees being tested positive for Covid-19. Those that had been tested positive had since been quarantined and isolated from all other employees.

The Management has since received notice of closure for one division of our plant located at 5A, Jalan Wawasan 2 at Kawasan Perindustrian Sri Gading, Batu Pahat, Johor from Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) from 19 March 2021 to 28 March 2021 for sanitization purposes.  Other divisions and plants of the Company are not affected.
The Management of BPPLAS wishes to affirm that the health and safety of our employees and stakeholders is our highest priority and we will remain vigilant and work with KKM to take the necessary protective measures. Management does not expect any material impact from the temporary closure of one of the section of the affected plant on its operations and financial performance.

The Company will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on the matter where applicable.

This announcement is dated 19 March 2021.
