Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies are used to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 in the workplace. These include education and training, screening employees daily for symptoms, and having appropriate response plans in place for positive COVID-19 cases. Mitigation efforts also involve staggering employee arrival, lunch, and tea times. Physical distancing of at least 1.5 meters is enforced, public transport is avoided if possible, and good hygiene practices like regular hand sanitization are followed.
