The Board of Directors of the Ricardo do Espírito Santo Silva Foundation has decided to reduce the in-person work system for its staff, promoting remote working and adopting a proactive position in accordance with the recommendations of the DGS (Directorate-General of Health) and the WHO in respect of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus. It was also decided to close the Museu-Escola de Artes Decorativas Portuguesas, cease the activities of FressForma and postpone all courses planned for MOBA until new dates can be set, to be communicated as soon as possible. Visits to the FRESS workshops are also suspended.

The Foundation would also like to communicate that, as yet, there is no record of any member of staff showing symptoms of Covid-19.

As such, with consideration for the health and wellbeing of its entire team, FRESS will continue to carry out its normal activity in such manner as it regards as safe, prudent and in accordance with the current situation, trying not to harm the development of works in progress or the satisfaction of its clients.
