Guidelines on Preventive Measures Against COVID-19 in SEC Record Handling
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued immediate guidelines to mitigate COVID-19 transmission risks by suspending all in-person filings and public kiosk services at its offices. The memorandum mandates that all document requests and report submissions be processed exclusively through the SEC Express online portal, a dedicated call center, or registered mail via couriers and postal services. These remote procedures establish nationwide courier delivery options, specify mailing-based filing dates, and require an affidavit of service for ordinary mail submissions until further notice.
