Two workers at Scan have tested positive for COVID-19 in a company update made on social media early on Thursday morning.

Scan is one of Malta’s largest electronic shops and was allowed to continue working as it was listed as an essential shop by the Government. All non-essential retail has been asked to remain shut as the country tries to contain the spread of the virus.

Scan said that despite strict measures in place over the past weeks, two of its shop sales staff tested positive.

“With immediate effect we are shutting down all operations including delivering and servicing until further notice.”

Pending orders not yet delivered will be refunded as soon as possible. Clients have been told that items at Scan’s premises for servicing will not be able to collect them until the store reopens.

“If you have a faulty item, please also wait until we are open. We will extend the warranty on all items bought from us by the time we remain closed.

“We are extremely sorry for the disruption in our services. Please bear with us until we make sure all our staff are safe to return to work. The only way you can contact us is via Facebook Messenger but please understand that we cannot do anything except to process refunds at this stage.

“Updates will be posted on Facebook and our website. We are all looking forward to be back at your service.

“Please Stay Safe.”
