Dear Members,
As you know the borders are currently closed to repatriations. This is to give the country time to get as organized as it can in case COVID makes its way to Vanuatu. For all of you that have attended the COVID Safe Business operations training its time to take action and implement what you learnt. Please watch the video here to get inspired. If you need a refresher or any help at all please contact us at sbo@vcci.vu or call 27543. Vaccines are of vital importance so encourage your staff to go and get jabbed today, Let’s be ready!
