According to the state-owned company, this is the first case registered in the company. The worker affected by the disease was on vacation when he contracted Covid-19.

The suspect is that the employee was infected on a trip abroad during his vacation. According to Petrobras, the disease was diagnosed before the employee resumed his work activities.

Petrobras informs that the employee is in good health and is receiving all the necessary medical support provided by the Petrobras teams at home.

The company also informs that the server did not have the company's facilities after being diagnosed with the virus, thus ruling out any possibility of contagion.

In order to preserve the health of its employees, Petrobras temporarily suspended all business trips in Brazil and also abroad, with the exception of some considered priority trips.

To maintain productivity and up-to-date work, the state-owned company has adopted the home office work system, for at least seven days for all employees who have returned from abroad, whether on business or on vacation.

As for employees who traveled to countries considered high risk, they will work from home for fourteen days.

There were thirty-seven Petrobras employees in China, but as a security measure, the state-owned company anticipated their return. The company claims that none of them showed symptoms of the coronavirus after going through a period of quarantine.

Rafael Grisolia, president of Petrobras Distribuidora says that it is still recent to identify the impacts caused by the coronavirus pandemic on the company's business.

BR Distribuidora has intensified the performance of its trading area to take advantage of possible opportunities in the acquisition of products, said the executive.
