COVID-19 Developments

Note 19 – COVID-19 Developments

In December 2019, COVID-19 surfaced and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world.  The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the businesses and the economy in the U.S. and the rest of the world is, and is expected to continue to be, uncertain and may continue to be significant. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial condition and results of operation will be affected. On March 17, 2020, the Company suspended most of its production and non-essential business locations where employees can work from home.  A very limited number of manufacturing personnel remained at work for critical late staged processes, until the end of March 2020.  Manufacturing resumed on April 27, 2020.  The Company’s revenues have been adversely impacted, and the Company experienced a substantial slowdown in sales beginning March 20, 2020 in global geographies characterized as “hot spots” for the COVID-19 virus, including parts of Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East and India.  In certain of these markets, sales have paused as elective surgeries are discouraged to support COVID-19 related needs.  While COVID-19 restrictions have since eased globally during 2022, a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the global geographies, depending on its duration and severity, could materially adversely impact the global economy and the Company’s industry, operations and financial condition and performance.  The Company continues to monitor the commercial and operational impact of new variants of COVID-19 in its markets.
