What's happening to Victoria's plumbing services?
Tickets are still being sold for essential repairs, but residents are warned to be cautious when taking them up. With another wave of COVID-19 cases sweeping through the state, plumbers are bracing themselves for a surge in demand.
The impact on customers
"We're doing our best to provide as many essential repairs as possible while also keeping customers safe," says [Plumber's Name], spokesperson for the [Company Name]. "However, we do encourage people to exercise caution when hiring a plumber and not to take unnecessary risks. We've had requests from people who have been put off by previous experiences with plumbers, so we're doing our best to reassure everyone that it can be done safely."
The measures in place to prevent spread of COVID-19
"We've taken extra precautions to minimize the risk of transmission," explains [Plumber's Name]. "For example, we're only offering appointments by phone and online, reducing the number of face-to-face interactions with customers. We're also having all staff members undergo regular testing for COVID-19 before coming into contact with clients."
