Covid 19 Guidelines receive from the Indian Govt.

1) If there are one or two Covid-19 cases reported at a workplace, the disinfection procedure will be limited to places/areas occupied and visited by the patient in the past 48 hours and work can be resumed after disinfection as per laid down protocol.

2) In case a larger number of corona virus cases are being reported at the workplace, the whole block or building, as the case may be, should be disinfected.

3) As offices and other workplaces are relatively close settings, with shared spaces like workstations, corridors, elevators and stairs, parking places, cafeteria/canteens, meeting rooms and conference halls, it is most likely that COVID-19 infection can spread relatively fast among officials, staffs and visitors, it said. Hence, there is a need to prevent the spread of infection and to respond in a timely and effective manner in case a suspect case of COVID-19 is detected in these settings, so as to limit the spread of infection, it added.
