Entrepreneurs in Almaty encouraged to intensify cleanliness standards
Hearing the Alarm, Almaty Business Owners Brace for Second Wave
In light of the escalating global health crisis, entrepreneurs in Almaty are encouraged to tighten their adherence to sanitary and epidemiological protocols, according to Almaty.tv’s latest report.
During an online conference, the Director of the Almaty Entrepreneurs' Chamber, Nariman Abilshaikov, discussed the current situation at length. The pressing matter? The impending second wave of the pandemic, a reality staring us in the face as we observe the predicament in Western Europe and beyond.
While Kazakhstan, including Almaty, currently maintains a stable position in the war against COVID-19, Abilshaikov emphasizes the importance of strengthening our vigilance against complacency.
Simple yet crucial rules to stick by include social distancing, adhering to mask regulations, and other essential preventive measures. By doing so, we might manage to delay the implementation of lockdowns, allowing businesses to carry on operations unhindered. However, a strict lockdown for enterprises could still be a possibility if the second wave does arrive. Thus, Abilshaikov urges the business community to prioritize safety measures.
But what does that exactly entail? General health precautions include maintaining proper hygiene, wearing masks, and ensuring ample air circulation in workspaces. Moreover, the Kazakh government offers various programs to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs), including financial aid like interest rate subsidies and loan guarantees through the "Business Roadmap 2025" program.
To truly weather this storm, businesses may also want to invest in their digital skills, adapt their practices to accommodate remote work, and focus on sustainability and innovation. After all, a diverse economy with innovative businesses tends to be more resilient in the face of adversity.
As we await the second wave, remember: stay informed, stay adaptable, and most of all, stay safe. Buckle up, business owners, it’s going to be a wild ride.
