The government has issued a set of guidelines to be followed at workplaces and other public and private entities to prevent and control the spread of possible COVID-19 infection once the curfew is lifted.

It was announced yesterday (18) that the prolonged curfew across the island will be relaxed in stages while leaving certain high-risk areas further under curfew.

The guidance titled ‘Operational Guidelines on Preparedness and Response for COVID-19 Outbreak for Work Settings’ has been compiled with the experience of the health sector together with all other experts and stakeholders, Ministry of health.

Health Sectors request all concerned organizations to strictly adopt and adhere to these guidelines at workplaces.
