HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, March 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NOVA LEAP HEALTH CORP. (TSXV: NLH) (“Nova Leap” or “the Company”), a 2019 TSX Venture 50™ ranked company focused on the home health care industry, is providing an important update on the novel coronavirus’ (COVID-19) impact on the Company’s operations.President & CEO’s Comments on COVID-19It was just under two weeks ago when I wrote to shareholders following the release of our Company’s record 2019 year-end results. Since then, the global impact of COVID-19 has been staggering. During these unprecedented times, it is important to reflect on the critical role our home care agencies serve in their respective communities.While businesses are forced to shut down or pause operations due to lack of demand in the current environment or due to government decree, our staff and caregivers continue to ensure that our most vulnerable citizens receive care in their homes. In a time when self-isolation or social distancing are required, I am comforted knowing that the services we provide can be performed where our senior population feel most comfortable. To our leadership team, staff and caregivers working around the clock during these challenging times, I thank you for your dedication and am grateful to be at your service. To the individuals, families and communities that we serve, know that we understand this important responsibility. During this difficult time, the health and safety of our staff and clients will remain a priority as always. Our home care agencies are operating, our staff continues to provide care essential to our clients’ well-being, our U.S. and Canadian business segments remain stable and we are in the best financial position in our Company’s history. I believe that the pandemic will shine a light on the importance of home care given that individuals can be taken care of safely in the comfort of their home where exposure to others may be controlled or limited. 2020 Spring Investors SummitThe 2020 Spring Investor Summit (the “Summit”) for NYC, as previously communicated on February 18, 2020, has been changed from in an in-person to a virtual event.
