Tomorrow onwards, over the next 15 days, at some point you will be resuming operations in a more substantial number, than it is for now.
I request you to please adhere to guidelines seriously even though I know some people are over pricing thermal scanners in such times.
Small increase in costs of sanitation, hygiene, disinfectants will surely pay long term dividends.
These are minor changes, which will bear fruit even when continued beyond current measures.
(Same goes for distancing and adopting namaste as a standard form of greeting)
Most importantly, there is a lot of misinformation and ignorance still present in the certain communities and members of few socioeconomic strata.
I would request you to use your position to spread the right information and educate your workforce correctly.
Plenty of infographics and tutorials available on the Government Telegram channel can be used effectively.
From wearing masks in an ineffective manner to slipping up in hygiene proto, we have observed workers mess up these things regularly.
Please help ease the stigma, reduce the fear… By dissemination of correct information in a supportive manner.
I am myself contemplating the idea of creating tutorials or edutainment videos of the same, but I find there is no dearth of such content already and it may be misinterpreted as a means to make money in such times and I have no desire to be associated with such thoughts.
That being said, if there are specific circumstances where I can provide valuable inputs please don’t hesitate to ask for it. I assure you I shall do my best
