In order to ensure that your company is abiding by the Emergency Measures put in place by various governments at all relevant levels in application of the Level 1 emergency response plan, it is recommended to apply the following measures aimed at preventing uncontrolled spread of the virus when workers resume work at their regular workplaces.
- Conduct a survey of all employees, inquiring about their general health, their current location and past travel destinations during the holiday, as well as the incidental contacts they may have had during the holidays with individuals who may have contracted the coronavirus. All employees should be requested to complete and sign a form providing responses to the above listed questions both for themselves and for their immediate family members living with them.
