FAIRFIELD, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2020 / Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (NASDAQ:JRSH) (the "Company" or "Jerash"), a producer of high-quality textile goods for leading global brands, today announced it is maintaining uninterrupted production while also taking steps to assure the safety of its workers in light of global COVID-19 virus concerns.

"Jerash Holdings is maintaining its production schedule without interruption in order to ensure timely delivery to our customers while also taking additional steps to assure the safety of our workforce in light of the continuing concerns about the COVID-19 virus," said Samuel Choi, Chairman and CEO of Jerash Holdings. "Additionally, while many producers may have been negatively impacted by the factory shutdowns and shipping halts throughout China this year, most of our raw materials come from other global markets and, as a result, we were minimally impacted, if at all.
