ŠKODA AUTO goes far beyond mandatory government measures in the fight against COVID-19 – tests and vaccination preparations underway
› ŠKODA #auto tests tens of thousands of employees every week, mainly using antigen self-test kits in the workplace
› Investments of more than one billion crowns (38 million euros) to protect ŠKODA #auto employees’ health
› Company ready to vaccinate employees as soon as the vaccine becomes available
› Employees can pre-register for vaccination online
Mladá Boleslav, 11 March 2021 – ŠKODA #auto and the KOVO trade union are working in close cooperation to prevent employees from contracting COVID-19. The company has set up its own vaccination centres to quickly and effectively vaccinate the workforce against the virus. Since the beginning of the pandemic, ŠKODA #auto has invested more than
one billion crowns (38 million euros) in preventive measures. In addition, the company and its social partner KOVO implemented a comprehensive ‘Safe Production’ and ‘Safe Office’ concept during the first wave of the pandemic and are now distributing high-quality PPE, respirators and FFP2 masks among the employees as well as conducting regular COVID-19
tests.
ŠKODA #auto has been offering all employees the opportunity to be tested for COVID-19 on a regular basis since October 2020 and covers most of the costs itself. So far, tens of thousands of PCR and antigen tests have been carried out. The car manufacturer is expanding its capacities to #test employees throughout the organisation regularly in line with the Czech government’s regulations. ŠKODA #auto relies mainly on antigen self-testing in the workplace, involving tens of thousands of employees every week.
By Thursday, 11 March, ŠKODA #auto had tested in total 28,000 employees at its three Czech sites and in Prague. Staff members who #test positive using the antigen self-test then undergo a PCR #test to confirm the result.
