Maintain Social Distance

Airborne germs are easy to spread, especially in an office with little or no ventilation as well as many people. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a safe distance, preferably 6 feet, to prevent spreading germs or contracted germs from others. Besides, avoid unnecessary contact with other people to limit the risk of carrying germs from other people.

You should also avoid touching other people’s items or objects on a communal surface unnecessarily. Communally shared amenities contain many germs, and they spread germs quickly, especially in a crowded space.

When you touch these communal items, it is vital to wash your hands to prevent spreading the germs to yourself or other things in the office. You can also use a hand sanitizer to kill germs, as mentioned earlier.
