Physical distancing

The risk of COVID-19 exposure is increased when working in close contact with others. Where possible, practice physical distancing.

Consider:
Redesigning the workplace layout.
Holding non face-to-face meetings.
Reducing the number of people in common areas.
Manage queues and customer numbers.

And where possible:

Leave time between appointments to limit physical interactions 

And ensure workers have their own tools or equipment.
