With the developing situation, we want to outline the measures and precautions that FullContact is taking around the coronavirus (COVID-19). The health and wellbeing of our employees, our customers, and our community is our priority as we navigate the rapidly evolving situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We want to reassure you that we will continue to be here to help our customers, while at the same time taking proactive measures to keep our employees safe. Our leadership is monitoring the situation and updating our employees regularly with information and protocols following guidance from public health officials and government agencies, including the CDC and the WHO. Most of our teams have transitioned to working from home and we have put a hold on business travel in order to do our part in preventing the spread of the virus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the circumstances, we are as always fully dedicated to supporting you and your business. There will be no interruptions to service and we will be responsive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, FullContact, along with 34 other Colorado technology companies are working with our communities to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 here in Colorado and beyond. You can read our full joint statement below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Joint Statement by Colorado High-Tech Companies on COVID-19 We are leaders of 35 different technology companies with headquarters or offices in the Denver and Boulder metro areas. This week, our companies stepped up efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 here in Colorado and beyond. Reflecting the spirit of collaboration that characterizes our startup community, we all came together as a group, shared best practices, and agreed to take the following decisive actions in the interest of protecting the most vulnerable members of our community:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why are we taking these unprecedented steps? The spread of COVID-19 is past the point of containment. Without swift action, we may soon witness the failure of our healthcare system’s capacity to deal with the virus\u2019s complications. Our healthcare system is not built to handle enormous loads of critically ill people all at once. Therefore, we urgently need to flatten the curve of disease transmission to prevent unnecessary deaths. Wuhan City had 4.3 hospital beds per thousand people. In the United States, we have 2.8. There are not enough health care providers to care for all the sick. There are fewer than 100,000 full ventilators in the US. We are already seeing this play out with tragic consequences in Italy, where the mortality rate is shockingly high, as their healthcare system has struggled to keep pace with the sudden crushing load of hospitalized patients, leading to otherwise preventable deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n Our actions alone will not be enough, and we cannot wait for our government agencies and elected officials to mandate these restrictions. Every hour counts. We therefore call on others in Colorado — and in other startup communities across the country — to follow our lead and implement these procedures, effective immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n Signed: How FullContact is Responding to COVID-19 With the developing situation, we want to outline the measures and precautions that FullContact is taking around the coronavirus (COVID-19).
