According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the virus that causes COVID-19 is part of a large family of viruses that are common in humans and many different species of animals. COVID-19 is being spread through person-to-person contact in the U.S. and throughout the world.
Small business owners should follow these basic guidelines from the CDC to prevent employees in their workplace from exposure to COVID-19.
- Instruct sick employees to remain at home: Employees who show any signs or symptoms of a respiratory illness should be told to say home until they are free of symptoms for at least 24 hours.
- Segregate sick employees: If an employee arrives at work and appears to be sick, or becomes sick during working hours, the employee should be separated from other employees and sent home as soon as possible.
- Communicate workplace guidelines clearly: All employees should know that they are not to come to work if sick, and when employees are at work, they should cover their noses and mouths with a tissue if they need to cough or sneeze, wash their hands thoroughly for 20 seconds with hot water and soap after using the restroom, and use a hand sanitizers frequently.
- Have the office cleaned thoroughly: If not being done already, employers should have offices cleaned each night. Workstations, countertops, door knobs, kitchen-area surfaces, cabinet knobs and pulls, remote controls, keyboards and every computer mouse should be cleaned frequently.
