If you rent an office at a business center or are in charge of a physical essential business, you have the responsibility to take care of your tenants and collaborators, as well as creating an environment that is healthy enough for them to continue working knowing they’re not putting their health at risk.
It is necessary for all businesses to reinforce their cleaning measures and aim to maintain a sterile workspace. Take into consideration implementing the following preventive measures to achieve a covid19-free space.
Making mandatory the use of protective equipment
Health is not a game, that is why you have to use protective equipment at all times inside the facilities. It is recommended that gloves and masks be mandatory, however, it is better to take more extensive protection measures using a hair cap, shoe covers, protective glasses and a coat or special clothing, etc.

Secure entrances and exits
Special measures must be taken at the entrances and exits, since it is where the virus arrives.
If your office has a lot of traffic, it is recommended to disinfect your reception and door handles every 15 minutes. If your office has low traffic, disinfect the entrance and exit every time a person enters or leaves.
At the entrance always have gel and disinfectant spray at hand. At the entrance, ask everyone to disinfect their hands with the gel and the soles of their shoes with the spray.
Prohibiting shoes on tables and leaning on desks
People can become carriers of the virus if they come in contact with it. For example, the virus could stick to the sole of your shoe when walking or, if a sick person touched the seat of the uber that you got on later, it may have gotten on your clothes. Don't give COVID19 the chance to reach your face! Prohibit putting the feet up on desks and tables, and discourage people from sitting on areas not designated for seating. These are some steps you can take to prevent the virus from reaching your nose and mouth.
Social Distancing Policy
Contact is the main form of transmission and spread of any disease, and COVID-19 is no exception. Although kisses and hugs are deeply rooted customs of the Latino culture and one of the qualities that Latinamerican people are known for worldwide, it's our duty, for the safety of our fellow man, to make the effort to maintain a distance of 6 feet or more. It’s everyone's responsibility to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus.
Cleaning team at a 💯
Your cleaning team is now the most important weapon you have to protect your business from viruses and, for this reason, you must start by giving them the adequate tools and support to help you protect the rest of your peers. Provide your cleaning force with enough equipment, gloves, change of clothes, protective masks and enough cleaning supplies to be able to fight the virus with the appropriate equipment.

Disinfect and clean all spaces
It is recommended to disinfect shared spaces, such as bathrooms and living rooms, every hour. It is also important to put notices and reminders in bathrooms, doors and windows about the importance of following WHO directions and enlisting them. Among the directions, washing your hands, keeping your distance, and avoiding touching your face at all costs are among the most important. The notices on doors help remind people to always be alert and to take the necessary preventive measures.
