“I want to reassure people that coronavirus testing is covered when deemed medically necessary and appropriate,” Colonial Group International CEO Naz Farrow said.
Ms. Farrow said, “Colonial Group International has actioned its internal crisis management plan which covers both our staff and our clients so that we are fully prepared in the event of a coronavirus outbreak in Bermuda.
