Our Tusk Family,

We know this is an uncertain time. While this is a very difficult situation and so many people's lives get affected, we should stay together and help each other to the best of our ability.

Here are some suggestions we think could be helpful:

• Check on your neighbors. Older people seem to be particularly susceptible to contracting the coronavirus, according to health officials. Some are staying at home and, as a precaution, may not open their doors to visitors. One way to check on homebound older residents without jeopardizing their health is to call or send a text.
• Safely drop off food for people under quarantine
• Stop Panic Buying. Think of your fellow citizens.
• Donate money. Lots of organizations, such as food banks and social services groups, offer direct help for people in need and maybe one of the first places people turn if they are hurt economically by the virus

All that being said, the health and safety of our Tusk family is our top priority. Our workshop in Mumbai, India is open at this time. We are speaking to our team daily to understand the evolving situation and will reassess if the situation in India worsens. Similar to measures we are taking here, the team at our workshop is changing shifts, increasing sanitation, and taking other essential precautions to help minimize the spread of the virus.

At this time, our New York Showroom will remain open but we kindly ask you to make an appointment by calling us at 212 242 8485 or emailing us at hello@tusk.com. We want to limit the concentration of people at our store at the same time.

As always, we want to thank you for being the best part of the Tusk family!

Sincerely,

Hiten Manseta
Founder & CEO
