Coping with COVID-19

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, SCGC distributed "Guard-up Boxes" to all employees, which contain protective equipment, including face masks, alcohol gel, vitamin C, and ATK kits. If one becomes infected, while waiting for treatment or being isolated at home, they would receive a "Care Box" containing essential supplies such as paracetamol, Fah Talai Jone (andrographis paniculata), pulse oximeter, fever thermometer, and so on. Additionally, in partnership with Ramathibodi Hospital's Virology Laboratory, the Company provided COVID-19 screening using RT-PCR test for employees and business partners. Jirasak and his coworkers learned and concluded on how to deal with the pandemic: "It's all about learning. We had no idea what Egg Yolk, Egg White was before this, but it has become our primary management system. The main issue we had was being apart from our family, and we were trying to treat everyone as though we were members of a large family and that we needed to work together as much as possible."
