Mexico:
- Mexico entered Phase 3 of the pandemic response on April 21. This phase limits commercial activities to only those considered “essential” by the government and reduces public mobility by limiting capacity on public transportation.
- Among others, the essential activities include the warehousing and distribution of agricultural products, cleaning products, home school products, and health related products. By providing logistics services to these industries, APLL is able to operate during this phase.
- We continue to protect our warehouse employees by enforcing the strict use of PPE, temperature screening, appropriate social distancing and increased sanitization procedures.
