KEEP YOUR TEAM SAFE
- Good afternoon
South Africa’s national lockdown is scheduled to come to an end on the 30th of April. Many employees will be returning to their respective offices ready to start working again. Of course, the risk of infection still exists and companies are faced with the challenge of taking the necessary steps and following local and international guidelines to keep their staff safe and office hygienic.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has released a document that confirms that personal protection equipment is a fundamental weapon to use in the fight against COVID-19. After the lockdown, people will ultimately start to come in contact with each other again, whether that be at a client-facing facility or in a place of work. The WHO confirmed that employers need to be proactive in creating a safe working environment for their staff during the global pandemic by making the necessary protective equipment available.
FACE MASKS
One way in which the coronavirus spreads is through droplets that might not even be visible to the naked eye. There has been a debate among authorities regarding whether face masks should be used by all or only by those who have tested positive and could potentially infect others.
The South African Government and the NCID have officially stated that face masks ought to be worn by everyone, no matter the state of their health. Certain people might be or presymptomatic and spread the virus without even knowing that they themselves have contracted it. Face masks are an excellent way of containing droplets that are released from the nose or mouth. Authorities have said that even a cloth mask is a good choice when it comes to deciding which masks to buy. The most important thing is that the spread of droplets is avoided.
