ACTNews, SOUTH JAKARTA – Dr. Jati Satriyo of ACT's Humanity Medical Services team shared some suggestions for preventing the spread of Covid-19 in the workplace.
Wearing a mask
The use of masks can reduce the spread of Covid-19. According to Dr. Jati, many people are already slack about wearing masks when they leave the house. "Masks shield us from Covid-19, which spreads through droplets," he said.
Frequently washing hands
Wash your hands frequently with soap and running water or hand sanitizer. Hands, according to Dr. Teak, are agents that carry germs/viruses and allow pathogens to spread from one person to another.
"Both by direct and indirect contact, using other surfaces such as doorknobs and so on," Dr. Jati explained on Friday (1/21/2022).
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth if you have not washed your hands. Please, work from home when you are sick.
Keep your distance from crowds
Avoid crowds and keep a distance of 1.5 to 2 meters from other people. Maintain a back-to-back distance in the office elevator.
Keep your surroundings clean
Frequently cleaning and disinfecting the work area is the best way to keep your surroundings clean. Additionally, ensure that the workplace has adequate ventilation. "Windows must be opened for proper air circulation. If the room is air-conditioned, the mask should not be removed, and you should leave the room now and then for fresh air," he said.
Stop smoking
The Omicron Covid-19 variant spreads more quickly than the Delta Covid-19 variant. Cigarette smoking can cause respiratory infections and complications. It has the potential to worsen the condition of patients infected with Covid-19.
Get vaccinated immediately
Vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure. Even if you become infected, your immune system will be stronger and more prepared because you have been immunized against Covid-19. "Get the vaccine right away at the nearest health service, and it is free," he advised.
Furthermore, Dr. Jati encourages Jabodetabek residents who need easy access to health services can dial the WhatsApp number Humanity Medical Careline ACT 0812-9536-2056 from Monday to Friday at 08.00 a.m to 04.00 p.m Western Indonesia Time.[]
