In our role as a global health leader, Johnson & Johnson is closely monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation and taking steps to help prevent the spread of the virus as well as exploring the potential for a vaccine.

We have robust business continuity plans in place across our global supply chain network to prepare for unforeseen events and to meet the needs of the patients, customers and consumers who depend on our products.

Medicine supply in New Zealand 

Janssen continues to supply its medicines in New Zealand and there are no disruptions due to COVID-19. 

Employees visiting healthcare facilities and interactions with healthcare professionals 

We are prioritising the interests of our patients and healthcare professionals at this time and we will do what we can to minimise the spread of infection, and the impact on those most vulnerable. Recognising that a significant proportion of the patients we serve are immuno-compromised, our employees will continue to adhere to all local and national health service protocols, and safe practice including wearing PPE when visiting healthcare facilities in person. We will continue to follow the advice of the New Zealand Government.  

Operation of the Janssen New Zealand business 

To make sure that Janssen New Zealand can continue to serve our patients, healthcare professionals and the community, we have changed some aspects of the way we operate. In addition to changing the way we interact with health care professionals and our visits to healthcare facilities we have undertaken the following measures: 

• We will support meetings with healthcare professionals and facilities through virtual platforms when needed rather than in person.

• Any planned medical education conferences will take place supported by virtual platforms.
