The World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued a guide on measures that organisations should take to prevent the novel coronavirus from spreading at workplaces. Some of these measures include:

  • Ensure that the workplace is hygienic and clean.

  • Encourage employees and visitors to wash their hands with soap or sanitise with an alcohol-based sanitiser regularly.

  • Place hand sanitisers in prominent places so people in the workplace can clean their hands regularly.

  • Advise employees to minimise personal contact with others.

  • Place paper towels or masks for anyone who is sneezing or has a cough to protect other people and put closed bins for their safe disposal.

  • Tell employees to stay and work from home if they experience even a mild increase in temperature (37.3C or higher).

  • In case of a meeting, make sure the room is well ventilated and that there is a distance of at least one metre between the attendees.
