COVID-19 has affected people, businesses and communities around the world. As it continues to spread and to be managed, our focus remains the health, safety and well-being of our employees, customers and partners.

 

We continue to monitor the outbreak closely and have put in place various measures to protect employees and customers and ensure our ability to deliver key services. Our plan ensures that any additional developments or actionable government mandates are adhered to.

 

Business Continuity

We are keeping in line with all mandated protocols as to social distancing, limited interaction and access restrictions. In accordance with any changes in regulations, some of our data centres have restricted access. Any service-critical customer will be permitted on site with special permissions only.

 

Please take note that all Basis Bay data centres are fully operational. All customers are encouraged to leverage our customer support through Smart Hands where possible.

 

Data centre specific guidelines
 

• Consistent with mandatory government guidelines, we ask customers, contractors and anyone else who has arrived in Malaysia to self isolate on arrival.

• Temperature checks are implemented on all persons who access our data centres. This is conducted on entry to the facility. Temperature readings that exceed the normal range will be refused entry for 14 days.

• Where personnel experience flu-like symptoms or are aware of being exposed to someone who has tested positive in the last 14 days, they will also not be able to access our centres.

• Our customers are encouraged to utilise our Smart Hands service where possible to limit staff performing simple tasks

• Hand sanitisers are placed at all checkpoints and other areas throughout our facilities - usage is encouraged.
