Example COVID-19 procedure for companies?

General company procedure COVID-19

COVID-19 or the coronavirus is spread through humans and animals. The virus cannot survive well outside the body. The chance that you will become infected by touching products or surfaces is small, but cannot be ruled out. A virus always needs a human or animal to “stay alive” and to be able to spread. The virus can only survive for a short time outside the body. This depends on, for example, the type of surface, the temperature, and the humidity. The virus survives better on hard/ smooth materials such as plastic, metal, and glass, and less well on porous surfaces such as paper and cardboard. A surface that may be contaminated can easily be cleaned with a normal cleaning solution. Take precautions for all viruses that can cause the flu and cold and wash your hands regularly.

Measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19
