DO’s
- Use the sanitizer kept at the reception before entering the office area each time.
- Wash your face after entering the office premises. We have kept sanitised face wash in all the washrooms. People who have their own preference of face wash is requested to carry the same to the office and use it. It has been advised that washing your face frequently is one of the major precautionary measures that need to be adopted.
- Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, several times a day. Use soap (kept in all washrooms and near the pantry washbasin) and water or a hand sanitizer. This must be done:
- After using the washroom.
- After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- Cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow or a tissue and dispose of the tissue immediately in a covered bin.
(You should be doing this whether or not you suspect COVID-19 as you don’t want to spread a common cold, either.)
DON’TS
- Don’t have close contact with anyone, if you’re experiencing cough and fever.
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose and mouth frequently.
- Avoid social gatherings and travel.
