Answer:
Get the facts from reliable sources to help you accurately determine your risks so that you can take reasonable precautions. Seek guidance from WHO, your healthcare provider, your national public health authority or your employer for accurate information on COVID-19 and whether COVID-19 is circulating where you live. It is important to be informed of the situation and take appropriate measures to protect yourself and your family.
You need to take the risk of infection seriously. Follow the advice of WHO and guidance issued by national and local health authorities. For most people, COVID-19 infection will cause mild illness however, it can make some people very ill and, in some people, it can be fatal. Older people, and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease or diabetes) are at risk for severe disease.
Answer:
Getting your workplace ready for COVID-19
In January 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a new coronavirus disease
in Hubei Province, China to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. WHO stated there is
a high risk of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spreading to other countries around the world.
WHO and public health authorities around the world are taking action to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
However, long term success cannot be taken for granted. All sections of our society – including businesses
and employers – must play a role if we are to stop the spread of this disease.
How COVID-19 spreads
When someone who has COVID-19 coughs or exhales they release droplets of infected fluid. Most of these
droplets fall on nearby surfaces and objects - such as desks, tables or telephones. People could catch
COVID-19 by touching contaminated surfaces or objects – and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. If
they are standing within one meter of a person with COVID-19 they can catch it by breathing in droplets
coughed out or exhaled by them. In other words, COVID-19 spreads in a similar way to flu. Most persons
infected with COVID-19 experience mild symptoms and recover. However, some go on to experience more
serious illness and may require hospital care. Risk of serious illness rises with age: people over 40 seem to
be more vulnerable than those under 40. People with weakened immune systems and people with
conditions such as diabetes, heart and lung disease are also more vulnerable to serious illness.
