Alexandre Mérieux, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “In today’s unprecedented health crisis, bioMérieux’s positioning as a specialist in infectious disease diagnostics takes on all of its meaning and allowed to rapidly provide high-performance solutions for diagnosing COVID-19. Despite the pandemic’s negative impact on certain product lines and taking into account health and economic conditions, bioMérieux is expected to deliver a remarkable performance this year. However, this performance is not projectable beyond 2020.”
