The guideline states that employees working in the same cabin come to the office on different days. As far as possible, sit with the windows open. While working in the office, the face mask and face shield should be worn. If this does not happen then action should be taken against the employee.
Face-to-face meetings, meetings, and discussions should not be conducted as far as possible. For all these, intercom, video conferencing should be resorted to. According to the guideline, employees must wash their hands every half an hour. At the same time, hand sanitizers should also be installed.
