Unfortunately, there are no universal guidelines or help books for reopening a company during a global pandemic. Every company faces the overwhelming task of reducing the risk in meeting rooms, on factory floors, in storefronts, etc to guarantee protection for all its staff and customers.
Companies should resume sensibly, monitor cleverly, and continue to safeguard with solutions for a safer workplace environment. You need to make sure to provide facility leaders and task force chiefs with the training they need in order to make educated decisions and carefully reopen their sites.
