Yrabs,.... yes. higher than usual,... even with the 'twitter' plugs, and again just goes to show quickly this moves on this level of volume ...up 25% this morning in short order with no actual news!
The delay last week,.. was annoying and poorly managed by WSG, IMHO.,... but at least when we do get the update at the end of next week, .. we will have another two week of Covid related tech sales.,.. which, . given all accounts .. should be significant. Could be a positive surprise coming ,as we have had no update on covid related sales figures since the 1st April... over six weeks ago, come next week,... at which point they confirmed that we had received $1.2M in orders in the last two weeks of March alone. They did say,..in the last RNS,...
"As previously announced our product sales, particularly of fever screening and safety equipment, are flourishing."

"We are in the fortunate position that our business is built on having multiple revenue streams from diverse operations in varying parts of the world. Whilst our airport operations are being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, our product sales team is experiencing record enquiry levels, particularly for fever screening and associated equipment. So far in Q1 2020, the Group has received over $2.1 million USD of online product orders of which $1.7 million USD were in March 2020 and over $1.2 million USD of that was the last two weeks alone, mitigating the reductions in our airport business."

It will be interesting to see how much, if any of this, has been booked in the record Q1 figures? Else they should show up in the Q2 figures,... which bodes well for H1 as a whole, even with Freetown being in lock down for Q2.
