At Abbott, for any event that may have a potential business impact, our three priorities are to care for our people, ensure business continuity, and help affected communities. Abbott has a longstanding, comprehensive crisis management system in place that's designed to mitigate risks to our people and operations, so that we can continue to provide critically needed products to the people who depend on them.
The safety of our customers is at the forefront of everything that we do. While health and safety standards and procedures are followed daily at our manufacturing facilities, we wanted to make you aware of the extra precautions we’re taking to ensure everyone stays healthy during this time of heightened concern about COVID-19.
What we are doing
- We are closely monitoring COVID-19 in our business operations and working with local teams and relevant authorities as the situation evolves.

- Our products are available through many direct ship options, to have what you need delivered directly to your door.
- We are following guidance from relevant provincial and federal governments health authorities on travel and preparedness.
