1. Try to work from home

According to the unit's arrangement and actual situation, you can innovate the way of working, apply to work from home or online, use video conferencing as much as possible, hold fewer meetings and concentrate less.

2. Take less buses and subways

It is recommended to walk, ride a bicycle, or take a taxi to work. If you must take public transportation, wear a medical surgical mask or N95 mask throughout the trip.

3. Reduce elevator use

Reduce the frequency of taking the elevator; passengers on lower floors can walk by stairs.

4. Wear a mask when taking the elevator

Wear a mask when riding in an elevator, even if you are the only one in the elevator. Do not remove your mask while riding in an elevator.

When pressing buttons in the elevator, it is best to wear gloves or touch the buttons through a tissue or fingertip.

When waiting for the elevator, stand on both sides of the hall door, do not stand too close to the hall door, and do not come into face contact with passengers walking out of the elevator car. After the passengers walk out of the car, press the elevator hall button to prevent the elevator door from closing, and wait for a moment before entering the elevator.

Try to avoid taking the elevator with multiple strangers. Passengers with ample time can wait patiently for the next elevator. Wash and disinfect your hands in time after taking the elevator.

5. It is recommended to eat at different times and eat alone

Wear a mask on the way to the restaurant and when picking up the food; do not take it off until the moment before eating. Do not talk while eating, and concentrate on eating.

Avoid eating in large groups during off-peak hours. Eat alone and eat quickly.

Units with the conditions can provide boxed lunches to avoid crowds.

When communicating with colleagues at work, keep a certain distance and wear a mask.

Use alcohol spray to disinfect office areas such as door handles, computer keyboards, desks, chairs, etc.

According to your actual situation, you can wear gloves as appropriate.

How to prevent the new coronavirus while eating at work

Bringing your own lunch box can effectively avoid eating in a group, and the hygiene of the tableware is more guaranteed. However, please note: the lunch box should be stored in a clean area; the food should be thoroughly heated before eating; wash your hands before eating, and clean the lunch box in time after eating to avoid the breeding of germs; do not share lunch boxes with others, and do not share personal tableware with others.

2. People dining in the cafeteria can bring their own tableware.

It is recommended to eat at different times to reduce the density of people in the canteen. Pay attention to the air circulation in the canteen and actively open windows for ventilation. Wear masks correctly and queue in an orderly manner when picking up meals; keep a proper distance from others when eating, try to avoid eating face to face and talking; leave in time after eating and do not stay in the restaurant. Units with conditions can arrange special personnel to distribute meals and deliver them to various offices to effectively avoid people gathering for meals.
