Some of these include maintaining social distancing, making available hand sanitisers, and fumigation of their environment among others.
“The management of various offices, premises and businesses that will be gradually reopened are mandated to ensure that the following preparatory steps are taken:
“Fumigation and decontamination, an arrangement made for physical distancing, provision of hand sanitisers and handwashing facilities, application of the policy of mandatory use of face masks, provision of thermometers for temperature checks,” he said.
