Solarvest Provides COVID 19 Update

Solarvest Bioenergy Inc. (TSXV:SVS) : The Company is working hard to ensure staff safety through staggered work schedules, social distancing in the workplace and isolation in our laboratories. The company has also taken steps to shore up its financial stability to carry the company over this shutdown while moving developments forward.

Our protein CBD expression program will continue unabated over this period of crisis management. The COVID 19 crisis has delayed the launch of our organic Omega 3 commercial product but we are working with our contractors to reschedule production in the next few months. The demand for health care products will remain just as strong and we may even see this health crisis increase the demand for new and established health care products like omega 3’s.

Because of our secure facilities, the Company was approached by the Federal Government to supply laboratory space for “COVID 19” testing but so far we have not been called upon to activate this program.

Solarvest operates in the health care industry, which going forward will be relied upon for solutions for medical, and ongoing wellness needs.
