Wearing face masks at work.
In the past seven months, over 200 employees at Hoang Anh Printing House have mostly worked from home and only need to go to the workplace twice or three times a week. This has resulted in a 30% decline in productivity.
The printing house's director Hoang An said, "Since the start of the first outbreak and after social distancing period, we have always asked employees to wear face masks and wash hands and we also adjusted the work schedules. Some people then told me that I could relax the rules a bit but I think that everyone's health is still the first priority."
Duong Hai Dao from Qui Phuc Company said they had carried out many awareness-raising activities about the outbreak and often disinfect the workplace. All of the employees were asked to wear face masks and wash their hands regularly. At the cafeteria, employees were asked to sit apart.
"We have set up a quick-response team to detect any abnormal issues and carried out suitable actions. We are prepared to deal with problems and to ensure operations," Dao said. "We put up banners and slogans to remind everyone about the on-going outbreak."
Tran Viet Anh, director of Nam Thai Son Company, agreed that awareness must be maintained. After the second wave broke out, all of their employees who had been to Danang were asked to self-isolate. They already have experience so everything went smoothly.
According to Anh, the employees understand the situation and take precautions themselves. That was why it was easy to apply changes.
"If we have to transfer goods to provinces and cities with outbreaks, we often brought the goods to a transit zones and warehouses that are safe and far from central areas. Our transportation system hasn't been disrupted," he said.
