Companies are going to work in “green area” mode and invite others to join

Some Latvian companies will gradually start working in the green area from October 11. This means that 100% of the employees who work with customers face-to-face have been vaccinated against or have recovered from Covid-19. Besides, all visitors of the Customer Centres and stores will be required to present a Covid-19 certificate – or use remote service options. For the sake of the general health of the public, we invite other companies to contribute to the reduction of disease risks and to work in a safe or so-called green area mode.

By supporting the efforts of the government and medical staff to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, the companies have jointly created a common visual identity for the convenience and health of their visitors. Any company joining the initiative is invited to use these materials by placing them at the entrance and informing customers that the service provider is working in safe or green mode. These information signs will serve as a proactive confirmation and identification mark, showing that both staff and visitors can present a Covid-19 certificate (have completed the vaccination or have recovered from Covid-19).  

Participants of the initiative: Tet, LMT, Latvijas Valsts Meži, Latvenergo, Omniva, SAF Tehnika.
