06 Oct 2020

The management and Head of the Minuwangoda Brandix facility have been accused of asking employees to report to work despite the discovery of a COVID-19 positive patient of the plant on Sunday (03). Over 500 employees from the facility have tested positive so far. Several workers had informed the management of a running fever since Tuesday (29), but were asked to report to work despite their condition, while over 80 employees had taken medical treatment from the in-factory physician of the Brandix facility on Saturday (02) under physical distress. In addition, a woman providing boarding facilities for 40 Brandix employees accused the Head of the facility for coercing two female janitors to report to work, amidst assurances from the company that the women boarded at her house would not face any risk.
