Health & Safety Guide:
How to Protect Yourself And Keep Everyone Around You SAFE too!
What is Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Coronavirus is a contagious viral strain that can be passed from one person to another, via:
*Direct contact (within 2m/6ft)
*Respiratory droplets – sneezing, coughing, talking
*Touching a surface infected with the virus
But DO NOT FEAR! Coronavirus Prevention Guy is here!
Follow these 7 simple steps to prevent the spread of the virus and protect you, your family, colleagues, and anyone nearby!
Step 1: HANDS
Wash your hands for at least 60 seconds with soap. If no soap is available use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Step 2: FACE
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth as they’re the most common entry points of the virus.
Step 3: DISINFECT
Clean your work surfaces (desk, conference table, lunch area) using spray or disinfectant wipes.
Step 4: AVOID CONTACT
Wash hands after contact with frequently touched objects, such as doorknobs, light switches, computers, and…
fellow STAFF!
Step 5: SELF CARE
You’ve got a better shot at fighting the virus if you have a healthy immune system:
sleep, eat nutritious food, exercise, and reduce stress.
Step 6: TRAVEL
Please avoid all non-essential travel.
Consider alternative ways to communicate, such as video conferencing and virtual collaboration tools. Your company may probably offer Zoom, Slack, and WhatsApp or any other app.
If you need any technical support, consult with your IT HelpDesk.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY…
Step 7: WORKING FROM HOME
Although it’s tough to keep a distance from those around you, minimize contact with family/ roommates.
Social distancing is important for everyone’s safety.
If leaving the house, avoid crowds and groups of people (3 or more).
