How the printing industry is helping fight COVID 19

We still don’t have a vaccine for the coronavirus, but we now know more about the virus to not let it paralyse us. The panic it caused in people in the early days is now giving way to an acceptance that we will be OK if we practice social distancing, sanitise our hands, and follow the protective measures the WHO recommends.

Much of the awareness people now have of the virus and its risks can be attributed to the Print industry, which supplies the printed materials that have been key in spreading the message about Covid 19.
