All enterprises are required to have a plan to prevent COVID-19 spread in the workplace. It starts with the information already in place. Employers are responsible for the safety of their employees and customers.
Both contact tracing and social distancing should be implemented strictly. The tools to use are simply a way to make these measures much easier to execute and track. With that being said, employees should understand how the apps or wearables work. They should also know their benefits and limitations.
In a typical scenario, the employer should know if an employee, visitor, or client has COVID-19. From there, an automatic contact tracing will be performed using the devices. Close interactions will be disclosed, and employees will be alerted right away.
Aside from learning who may have had contact with the infected individual, these solutions also allow you to track your possessions. By discovering the person with the virus, you will know where he or she was and which items in the workplace may have been touched. You must protect your people, as well as your investments.
The virus can stay on surfaces for several hours to a few days. Now is not the time to be complacent. Disinfecting the workplace, especially the potentially infectious surfaces, is a crucial step towards containing the coronavirus.
