What's Happening in Midrand, Gauteng…

The retail, food, and healthcare sectors are of paramount importance during this pandemic. With the country still in lockdown due to COVID-19, these industries are finding new ways to cope, with the help of printing, and in some cases meet the increase in e-commerce demand. The measures taken to slow the spread of the virus (COVID-19) have directly affected their supply, demand, and daily operations.

Supermarkets have been implementing measures to protect their workforce and customers from COVID-19. These include distancing markers and regulating the number of people in the store, the use of sanitising wipes for cleaning of trolley handles, screens between till staff and the public, and greater use of contactless payment cards. 

Many restaurants and stores are going the extra mile by implementing a curbside pick-up system which allows you as the customer to order online and pick up the same day. Your parcel or takeaway will be brought out to you while you wait in your car. They are also making use of takeaway menus to prevent the spread of germs and making sure that their COVID-19 safety guidelines are well displayed, reminding guests to sanitise and keep a safe distance.

Implications of COVID-19 in the healthcare industry

COVID-19 has caused a catastrophe of unprecedented proportions in the healthcare sector. Healthcare has borne the impact of COVID-19 more than most other industries. However their need for printing services has not diminished, on the contrary, it’s increased as hospitals have been faced with an overwhelming rush of patients. With more patients, an influx of printing will be required to collect information, correspond with insurance providers, and social distancing safety guidelines, labels, and instructions for prescription medication just to name a few.
