Introduction

In response to the Coronavirus outbreak, APS has just taken the decision to cancel all work/visits for now and the foreseeable future.  While this is a decision that obviously has significant financial ramifications for a small independent company, it is a decision we feel we have to take.  In this blog article I’m going to elaborate on our reasoning and decision-making so it’s visible to others, and in the hope of encouraging others to consider taking a similar approach.  Indeed, our decision-making in this respect has been inspired by the actions and thinking of other people and services, and if this article helps even one other person to think through their actions then that in itself will be a result.
 
There are essentially two reasons why we’re doing this:

  1. Government guidelines as of Monday 16th March 2020.
  2. More importantly, a commitment to a broader social responsibility not to spread this virus around or provide it with new hosts.
