The document provides guidance on precautions workers should take to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at work. It recommends wearing a mask at all times, frequent hand washing, avoiding sharing items, cleaning shared equipment, ventilating areas, maintaining social distance, monitoring health for symptoms, and notifying employers if experiencing symptoms or having a high-risk household member.

1. Prevention in workspaces

2. Challenges today
Today the planet is faced with the
challenge of overcoming a pandemic
caused by a coronavirus.
This virus produces a disease, Covid-19,
that so far has no curative treatment. Also,
the process of vaccinating the entire world
population will take considerable time.

3. Therefore, the answer is to unite all of our
efforts, practice solidarity, and protect
each other.
One of the current big problems is to avoid
being the carrier of the virus between
workplaces and homes.

mouth. This can happen through direct contact or
contact with contaminated surfaces or objects.
