The Engro Corporation announced on Tuesday that it is closing all the company’s offices located in The Harbour Front building in Karachi after one of its employees tested positive for the novel coronavirus. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Engro said that the employee who was diagnosed with COVID-19 had come to the office on March 6 “for only a few hours”. The statement added that though the circumstances “do not warrant office closure and call for self-monitoring”, the decision to close the offices for the next three days was a “precautionary measure”. “One of Pakistan’s leading infectious diseases specialists has indicated that exposure to the infected person of more than 15 minutes (sic) and at a distance of less than one metre may make one more susceptible to contracting the virus,” the statement read. During the closure, Engro offices will be disinfected while employees will continue to work from home, the company statement said. When the offices reopen on Monday, March 16, the employees will be screened for coronavirus’ symptoms “as a precaution”.
