Standards For Operations Protocol In Corona Virus

Purpose

• This document is designated to provide information on measures being taken by Funride Adventures Ltd. The document outlines a minimum set of standards we are setting in terms of Safety & Sanitation to protect the wellbeing of our guests, business partners and Staff alike during the prevailing COVID-19 era. This document was prepared based on evidence currently available about COVID-19.

Background

• According to World Health Organization, Coronaviruses (COVID-19) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. Due to the lack of symptoms during the incubation period and the rapid spread of the virus, it can be assumed that cases of COVID-19 will generally increase within affected countries.

Scope

• This document is valid for Funride Adventures Ltd and our minimum expectations are being applied and maintained consistently until new guidelines from the World Health Organization are published, and/or a vaccine is readily available in the market. In locations where guidelines from Health Authorities are more stringent, we will of course adopt such the local guidelines over and above our comprehensive minimum expectations.
