Bucharest Stock Exchange implements measures to prevent the activity from being affected by COVID-19: events planned for March have been canceled

Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) informs all the capital market stakeholders that it has implemented measures to prevent the influence of COVID-19 on the current activity of the market operator and of its employees. BVB has a Business Continuity Plan even for cases where the activity can no longer be carried out from the headquarters, a plan that involves even the remote work, even from home.

Internally, BVB has announced its employees the measures they are obliged to take and what to do if any person presents specific symptoms triggered by this virus. In the context of the recent events regarding COVID-19 in Romania and the measures taken by the authorities with the acceleration of the spread of COVID-19 in Romania, almost half of BVB employees started working from home, by rotation, and within the BVB premises were taken additional hygiene and disinfection measures.

At the same time, BVB has decided that it is safer to restrict the access of foreign persons to BVB headquarters and to cancel, as of Monday, March 9th, all the events scheduled for this month, with the possibility of extending these measures and subsequently to March, depending on of the evolution of events regarding COVID-19 in Romania.
