6 Ways to Prevent the Spread of the Corona Covid-19 Virus in the Workplace, Suitable for Those Who Do Not WFH

Kapanlagi.com - The spread of the corona covid-19 virus can occur anywhere, including in the workplace. Therefore, the government recommends many offices to work from home (WFH). However, due to limitations, there are workplaces that require employees to continue working in the office. Don't worry, there are ways to prevent the spread of the corona covid-19 virus in the workplace.

The workplace can be one of the potential places for the spread of the corona covid-19 virus. Because the workplace is a gathering place for many people. In addition, employees in the workplace or office will also communicate and interact with each other. So, if one employee is infected, it will easily spread to other employees.

Now, if your workplace does not implement WFH, here are some ways to prevent the spread of the corona covid-19 virus in the workplace that you can follow. So, you can still be productive and safe from the spread of the corona covid-19 virus.

Hand washing has become one of the most frequently mentioned recommendations for preventing the transmission of the corona covid-19 virus. This method should also be applied when you are in the office. Because, as we know, the potential for the spread of the corona covid-19 virus in the office is quite high. One of the reasons is the many items that are commonly used together.

Therefore, it is advisable to wash your hands frequently when you are in the office. Especially before eating, after using the toilet, and after using shared facilities in the office, such as photocopiers, and so on.

The next way to prevent the transmission of the corona covid-19 virus in the workplace is to continue wearing a mask. Everyone should currently wear a mask in various situations. Especially when gathering with many people, such as in the workplace.

Wearing a mask has been proven to prevent the spread and transmission of the corona covid-19 virus. This is because masks are believed to be able to block droplets from the nose or mouth of people infected with the corona covid-19 virus. By doing so, wearing a mask will prevent the spread of the virus in the workplace.

In addition, wearing a mask also unknowingly reduces the frequency of touching our faces. This will also minimize the risk of transmission. Because the transmission of the corona covid-19 virus can occur if we touch a contaminated surface and then touch our faces without washing our hands first.

3. Maintain Distance

Maintaining distance, also known as social distancing or physical distancing, is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of spreading the corona covid-19 virus. This method is done by maintaining a physical distance from others, about 1-3 meters.

To maintain distance while working in the office, it is advisable to avoid crowds, such as in elevators, stairs, or even toilets. Use public facilities in the office when they are empty.
In addition, maintain distance while sitting and working in the office.

In addition to maintaining distance in the workplace, it is advisable to minimize direct communication with colleagues. Instead, maximize communication using social media or chat.

In addition to minimizing physical contact, the use of chat and social media for communication purposes will also reduce the possibility of droplets on surfaces, as people will speak less frequently.

5. Bringing Personal Equipment

The fifth way to prevent the transmission of the corona covid-19 virus in the workplace is to bring personal equipment, such as worship tools, cleaning tools, and so on.

Bringing your own personal equipment will reduce the use of office items or facilities that are commonly used. By doing so, you will be able to avoid the risk of contracting the corona covid-19 virus from contaminated surfaces.

6. Bringing Lunch

One way to prevent yourself from easily contracting the corona covid-19 virus is by maintaining your immune system. One way to do this is by consuming nutritious food.

Therefore, bringing healthy meals can be an option to prevent the spread of the corona covid-19 virus in the workplace. Besides being nutritious, bringing your own lunch also eliminates concerns about the cleanliness of the utensils you use.

Those are some tips or ways to prevent the spread of the corona covid-19 virus in the workplace. You can apply these tips or methods if you are forced to work in the office.
