Health & Safety Guidelines for COVID-19 Management,
Staff & Customers

All managers are advised to consider the exposure level of employees, the individual risk factors and other recommended good practices outlined in this document. 

This will not only enable the prevention/control of the spread of infection but will also prevent panic situations in the event of detecting a suspected case.   

To consider and address the level of risk with each member of staff – including from where, how, and to what sources of COVID-19, employees might be exposed to – as follows:               

• The general public, customers, and coworkers
• Sick individuals or those at particularly high risk of infection (people who have visited locations with confirmed ongoing COVID-19 transmission) 
• Non-occupational risk factors at home and in community settings
• Workers’ individual risk factors (older age, presence of chronic medical conditions, immune compromised conditions, obesity, pregnancy, smokers) 

The following categories of workers should not report for work:

• Those having fever, with or without acute respiratory symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sore throat and/or shortness of breath. 
• Those who have had contact with suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 for the last 14 days. 
• Those who are quarantined for COVID-19. The Manager should ensure that if a sick person reports for work to contact the local PHI immediately.                                                                      
• A specific isolation room preferably with an attached bathroom/toilet should be identified in the workplace in advance, to transfer workers suspected of having COVID-19 infection. It should be one that can be disinfected.

Special advice in case of detecting a suspected case at the workplace:      

In the event of detecting a suspected case in the workplace, to seek assistance from hotline 1390 and follow the instructions given or alternatively transfer the worker to the nearest government hospital, by ambulance. Suwasariya ambulance service can be contacted by dialing 1990. 

The suspected worker should continue to wear a mask and be kept in isolation and all relevant precautions should be taken to limit the spread of the disease, until transfer to hospital.
