Guideline for Resuming Work from COVID-19 lockdown and possible prevention strategies For staff, Faculty, Students & Service providers.

Government agencies including health authorities are framing out and implementing various strategies to reduce rapid infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which cause the disease COVID-19. Recent lock down and partial release / exemption may bring immediate relaxation to business and domestic requirements. However, the potential spread of SARS-CoV-2 is inherent and need for strategic control in the prevention of such spread inside the Campus.

3.   Definitions

If disinfecting is targeted against a microbe causing a specific illness (e.g. influenza, Norovirus, COVID-19, etc.) then use an EPA registered disinfectant that is certified as effective against that organism.

d.      Social Distancing – Also called as 'Physical Distancing' means keeping space between a person and other people around him. A clear distance of 6 feet is considered as an effective social distancing.

Spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus from person to person is most frequent by close contact (within 6 feet) by respiratory droplets. Various agencies working on minimizing the spread suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Hence Social Distancing become primary prevention methodology followed by cleaning and disinfection.

b.   Social Distancing

Social Distancing is considered as the best Non- Pharmaceutical method for prevention of SARS- CoV-2. To practice social distancing ensure a clear distance of at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from others, not gathering in groups, staying out from crowded locations. Wherever social distance is not possible due to operations reasons, a minimum protection of surgical masks to be used.

Potential area of contacts have been listed in below table with examples. Recommended disinfection advice by local regulatory agencies, International Disease Control agency have been incorporated in the table.
