GTEC Provides Update on COVID-19
Kelowna, BC – April 6, 2020 – GTEC Holdings Ltd. (TSX-V:GTEC) (OTCQB:GGTTF) (FRA:1BUP) (“GTEC” or the “Company”), a premium indoor cannabis company, would like to provide the following update on the business impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
The COVID-19 virus has had a dramatic adverse impact on the economy, markets and lives of many people. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon businesses and individuals to take all reasonable and practical measures to mitigate its impact. In light of these considerations, the Company would like to provide the following update:
All four of the Company’s licenced cultivation and analytical testing facilities continue to be fully operational.
The Company’s business continuity has been enhanced by various Provincial government announcements, supporting cannabis as an ‘essential service’ that will continue to operate during COVID-19 related shutdowns of non-essential businesses.
The Company has implemented various measures to minimize any potential employee and business impact from COVID-19. This includes segregated shifts, mandatory masks and enhanced sanitization processes within all cultivation and processing areas.
The Company currently has no reported cases of COVID-19 within the organization.
The Company is achieving significant yield improvements at its three cultivation facilities: Tumbleweed Farms in British Columbia; Alberta Craft Cannabis in Alberta; and Grey Bruce Farms in Ontario (based on a comparison of initial Q2 2020 harvests to average Q1 2020 harvests).
The Company is currently selling recreational cannabis in multiple provincial markets, and has not experienced any COVID-19 related challenges to continue selling through these channels.
The Company intends to report its financial statements for its First Quarter of fiscal 2020 (3 months ended February 29, 2020) no later than April 29, 2020.
“As we navigate through these unprecedented times, the support of our Provincial governments is allowing us to continue operations and sustain our growth trajectory,” said Norton Singhavon, Founder and CEO of GTEC. “We would like to express our heartfelt support to all those individuals and families who have been adversely impacted by the current outbreak.”
