Guesses what though, they have been awarded multiple contracts as well as 150 million dollar contract in April 2020 to deliver mobile health units.

The public prosecution service decided against a remediation agreement (which might have limited the company's right to bid on government contracts) and decided to pursue a criminal conviction instead.

As a result, at this time the company is not prevented from bidding on government contracts.
I do think it's safe to assume that the company would have preferred a remediation agreement to a criminal trial, but the prosecutors decided against offering that option.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with the pandemic at this point.
