August 11, 2021 in COVID-19 UPDATES
COVID-19: APLL Regional Network Update (Vietnam)
This is a follow-up to the previous update:
- Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has been given a “hard deadline” to control the pandemic by September 15, 2021 (see here).
- The adjacent provinces (such as Binh Duong, Long An, Dong Nai) are expected to open up by end August but subjected to prevailing COVID-19 situation. Many factories and facilities are typically located outside of HCMC, including our CFS facility.
- APLL continues our appropriate COVID-19 precautionary measures in our warehouse/ flow center.
- The overall supply chain is functional, but with limited manpower for trucking, ports, ICDs, etc.
The ports around Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong remain fully operational. All APLL employees are currently working from home.
We will monitor the situation and update accordingly. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact your APL Logistics Account Manager or local APL Logistics office.
