Business Operations
Our focus is on executing a comprehensive business continuity plan, with the safety and well-being of our employees, patients and partners being our highest priority.
We are actively complying with the California state orders and follow guidance provided by WHO, CDC, and other health organizations. We are requiring any on-site employees to comply with “social distancing” guidance and enhanced safety and cleaning protocols, to support the flattening of the curve of COVID-19 cases.
At this time we have not issued any changes to clinical timelines, but we will continue to monitor this. Should an impact from COVID-19 cause a material change to our previous guidance, we will communicate these changes to you via our website and our other communication channels.
