Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Some of the advice in this response is useful, but if you don't work in a delivery or retail kind of setting, this information is not going to be of much use to you.
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This answer provides information on work related travel and does not provide any information on how to prevent Covid-19 spread in the office.

page_title: Guidance Government advice on home moving during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
section_headers: Advice to industry
Estate agents
section_content: Estate agents can open for business but should consider how and when to reopen
their premises given government guidance on safer
working. Estate agents should inform customers and their own staff about
their procedures, so that they are safe throughout the sales process.

Agents should ask whether any party is showing symptoms or has been asked to self-isolate before going ahead with any viewing, or visits to offices.
Agents should operate using an appointment system for visits to their offices and when conducting viewings.
Agents should not carry out any open house viewings.
Agents should strongly encourage clients to view properties virtually in the first instance and then only physically inspect properties which they have a strong interest in.
Agents can accompany physical viewings and seek to maintain a minimum of 2 metres distance from others wherever possible. Where social distancing is not possible and the visit is within an enclosed space, they should consider wearing a face covering in line with government guidance.
Where they do not accompany the visit, they should make sure that both buyers and sellers clearly understand how the viewing should be conducted safely.
Agents should not drive clients to appointments.
All parties viewing a property should wash their hands with soap and water (or hand sanitiser if not available) immediately after entering the properties, with internal doors opened and surfaces having been wiped down before they enter. Separate towels or paper towels should be used if possible and washed or disposed of safely after use.
Agents should do what they can to promote flexibility when arranging move dates, for example advising clients to ensure contracts have explicit terms to manage the timing risks presented by coronavirus.
Agents should work with their clients and other agents to broker a new date to move where sales are due to complete and one of the parties falls ill with coronavirus or has to self-isolate.
Agents should ensure that any keys are appropriately cleaned before handover.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This answer does not provide any information on how to prevent Covid-19 spread in the office, instead, it provides Covid-19 information and guidelines for estate agents when reopening their business.
While the response is fantastic if you are a real estate agent, it's not the best for any other kind of employee. Some of the tips are good, but most don't translate fluently.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Offices and contact centres
section_headers: 8. Inbound and outbound goods
section_content: Objective: To maintain social distancing and avoid surface transmission when
goods enter and leave the site.
Steps that will usually be needed:


Revising pick-up and drop-off collection points, procedures, signage and markings.


Minimising unnecessary contact at gatehouse security, yard and warehouse. For example, non-contact deliveries where the nature of the product allows for use of electronic pre-booking.


Considering methods to reduce frequency of deliveries, for example by ordering larger quantities less often.


Where possible and safe, having single workers load or unload vehicles.


Where possible, using the same pairs of people for loads where more than one is needed.


Enabling drivers to access welfare facilities when required, consistent with other guidance.


Encouraging drivers to stay in their vehicles where this does not compromise their safety and existing safe working practice, such as preventing drive-aways.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. The answer does not provide any information on how to prevent Covid-19 spread in the office. Instead, it contains information on precautions when loading and unloading goods during Covid-19.
This response doesn't really offer a lot of help in the way of preventing transmission within an office setting. It would be far better suited to jobs such as: postal work, delivery services, and warehouse positions.
