As an employer, your goals should be to map out a plan that fits your business' needs, while educating your employees and keeping them safe. If you feel lost at any stage throughout this process, please contact EODY and your local health providers. Alwayys consult your employees and consider their personal and professional needs prior to implementing new measures.
Do:

1. Actively encourage sick employees to stay home, especially if they have any symptom or potential COVID-19 cases within their immediate environment
2. Identify where and how workers might be exposed to COVID-19 at work and enforce protective measures. The include mostly suitable face masks and washing or hand sanitizers. Make sure your provide well-equipped hand washing stations, sanitizers at desk areas, and triple-layered filtered masks for all employees.
3. Take action if an employee is suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 infection. Wait 24 hours before cleaning and disinfecting to minimize potential for other employees being exposed to respiratory droplets. If waiting 24 hours is not feasible, wait as long as possible. During this waiting period, open outside doors and windows to increase air circulation in these areas.
4. Educate employees about steps they can take to protect themselves at work and at home. Encourage employees to follow any new policies or procedures related to illness, cleaning and disinfecting, and work meetings and travel.

Don't:

1. Force employees into discussing health conditions and disclosing personal information; follow the GDPR
2. Discourage employees when late for work -keep in mind that public transport may be malfunctioning. If feasible, offer employees incentives to use forms of transportation that minimize close contact with others (e.g., biking, walking, driving or riding by car either alone or with household members).
3. Require non-essential employees to work on-site. Instead, examine remote work options.
