The advice includes promoting regular and thorough hand-washing.
WHO publishes guidance on ways to prevent spread in the workplace

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued advice regarding changes to workplaces as a result of Covid-19. We hope you find this guidance useful wherever you work.

The document states: 'WHO and public health authorities around the world are taking action to contain COVID-19 outbreak. However, long-term success cannot be taken for granted. All sections of our society - including businesses and employers - must play a role if we are to stop the spread of this disease.'

Please click here to read the World Health Organization’s guidance document on ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in your workplace. This includes promoting regular and thorough hand-washing, communicating and promoting respiratory hygiene.

We would also like suggestions and ideas that would help to control the spread of the disease sent to us. Please email editor@mrcvs.co.uk with the subject line Covid-19.
