How COVID19 spreads?

COVID-19 can spread from someone who has cough as they release droplets of infected fluid. These droplets may fall on nearby surfaces and objects such as desks, tables or telephones and on touching these surfaces and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth or from a person standing within one meter with COVID-19. They can catch it by breathing in droplets coughed out or exhaled by them. persons infected with COVID-19 experience mild symptoms and recover. However, people with weakened immune systems, people over 40, and people with conditions such as diabetes, heart, and lung disease are also more vulnerable to serious illness.Simple low-cost measures mentioned below will help prevent the spread of infections in your workplace, such as colds, flu and stomach bugs.

 Make sure your workplaces are clean and hygienic

           Surfaces (e.g. desks and tables) and objects (e.g. telephones, keyboards) need to be wiped with disinfectant regularly. This is because contamination on surfaces touched into eyes, mouth, nose by employees and customers is one way of getting COVID-19 spread.

  Promote regular and thorough hand-washing by your employees & customers


  •  Put sanitizing hand rub dispensers in prominent places around the workplace.
  •  Make sure these dispensers are regularly refilled.
  •  Display posters promoting hand-washing – ask your local public health authority for these or look at www.WHO.int. 
  • Combine this with other communication measures such as offering guidance from occupational health and safety officers, briefings at meetings and information on the intranet to promote hand-washing. 
  • Make sure that staff, contractors and customers have access to places where they can wash their hands with soap and water.
