1.
Wash your hands often (for at least 20 seconds) and use the disinfectant dispensers installed within the HQ and the
Community Center.
2. Avoid hugging, hand shaking
and direct physical contacts with
anyone; pay attention at people suffering from acute respiratory infections.
3. Keep at least one meter away from one another to decrease the chance of
airborne exchange of virus.
4. Avoid sharing bottles and glasses, also when during sports.
5. Use only your telephone, keyboard and mouse while in office. If not possible disinfect them before handing over your shift.
6. Do not touch your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands.
7. Avoid using elevators, touching handrails. If you use the elevator, wear a mask and use the disinfectant dispenser after you leave the elevator.
8. Cover your mouth and nose if you sneeze or cough (sneeze or cough in a handkerchief and avoid hand contact with your breathing secretions).
9. Do not take antiviral drugs or antibiotics unless prescribed by a doctor.
10. Clean the surfaces with chlorine or alcohol based disinfectants.
11. Using a mask/face covering is mandatory in all common areas indoor and outdoor. Common indoor areas are normally public areas like shops, cafeterias, messes, conference rooms, elevators, bathrooms. However in the context of preventative measures even individual small offices may be considered common areas when the size of the area prevents adequate social distancing. Use of mask in any case is always recommended when receiving a person in the office. In Campania, the use of mask is also mandatory outdoor at any time, regardless of the interpersonal distance, with the limited exceptions and with the modalities prescribed by the approved sanitary protocols applicable to specific activities (for example: restaurants, bars, outdoor sport activities, etc.).
12. Contact the toll-free number 1500 if you have a fever or cough and have returned from a risk area.
13. Pets do not spread COVID-19.
