Containing the Corona Virus Spread
B . While Driving or Traveling
1. Unless necessary, limit the number places you drive. The more places you go, the higher your
chances of interacting with someone/something w/ virus. increasing risk of bringing that into your car
.
2. Be extra wary of what you are touching when filling up. Studies have shown that fuel pumps
may carry up to 11,835 times the germs of the average public toilet seat.

3. Limit the number of passengers you drive around. Research found that vans carry more germs
than cars because vans typically ferry more passengers. Observe miniomum 1-meter distancing.

4. Wash hands or use hand sanitizer frequently to not contaminate inside of car. Use hand
sanitizer immediately after getting into car to avoid contamination with germs.

5. Disinfect car's high-touch areas frequently. Dashboard, steering wheel, interior door handle,
gear-shift knob, seat belt, radio, and cup holder are all hot spots for contamination.

6. Crack the windows to air out your car between rides. Corona virus can live in the air for up
to 3-hours. Leaving car's windows open between rides for at least a few minutes a day.

7. Make sure anyone who shares the car takes the same precautions. Each driver should
disinfect high-touch surfaces after each use

B . While Driving or Traveling

2. If long drive is necessary, good planning and sanitizing can lower your risk
a. Plan your route: Make sure your car is in good shape; consider having it serviced or inspected.
Map out the roadways and be aware of any relevant travel advisories.

b. Packing and sanitizing: Get your supplies in order. These include hand sanitizer, disinfecting wet
wipes, disposable gloves, sealable disposable plastic bags and tissues.

c. Pay for gas with cards, not cash. This eliminates face-to-face interaction necessary for a cash
transaction, and cards - but not cash - can always be cleaned
with disinfectant wipe after use.

d. At public toilet , do not touch fixtures. Touching faucet or door handle them after washing your
hands defeats the purpose of hand washing (instead, use a piece of
tissue or paper towel to shield your hands after washing). Wear mask.

e. Dining. Where a sit-down meal is not allowed, take drive-through and takeout service instead.
Consider bringing your own groceries from home.

D. At the Office

1. Engineering Controls: involve isolating employees from work- related

hazards. These types of controls reduce exposure to hazards without relying
on worker behavior and can be the most cost-effective solution to implement.

a. Installing high-efficiency air filters.

b. Increasing ventilation rates in the work environment.

c. Installing physical barriers, like clear plastic sneeze guards.

d. Installing a drive-through window for supplier’s/sub-con service.

e. Specialized negative pressure ventilation in some settings, such as for

aerosol generating procedures.

D. At the Office
2. Administrative Controls: changes in work policy or procedures to reduce
or minimize exposure to a hazard:
a. Encourage sick personnel to stay at home.

b. Minimize contact among workers, clients, and customers with virtual

communications and implementing telework if feasible.

c. Establish alternating days to reduce total number of employees at a given time,

allowing them to keep safe distance while maintaining a full onsite work week.

d. Discontinue nonessential travel to locations with COVID-19 outbreaks.

e. Develop emergency communications plans, including a forum for answering

personnel’s’ concerns and internet-based communications.

f. Provide personnel with up-to-date education and training on COVID-19 risk factors
and protective behaviors (e.g. cough etiquette, care of PPE).

g. Train personnel who need to use protecting clothing and equipment how to put it on, use wear it,
and take it off correctly, including in the context of their current and potential duties.

3. Safe Work Practices: procedures for safe and proper work used to reduce the
duration, frequency, or intensity of exposure to a hazard.

a. Provide resources and a work environment that promotes personal hygiene. For
example, provide tissues, no-touch trash cans, hand soap, alcohol-based hand
rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol, disinfectants, and disposable towels
for personnel to clean their work surfaces.

b. Require regular hand washing or using of alcohol-base hand rubs. Personnel

should always wash hands when they are visibly soiled and after removing PPE.

E. In the event that a personnel is sick or has fever but is not suspected to have
Covid-19 (i.e. urinary inpection, wound infection or any diseases not related to
lungs or respiratory tract, CMRP shall advise the personnel to take prudent
measures to limit the spread of communicable diseases, as follows:

a. Stay at home and keep away from works and crowds;

b. Take adequate rest and take plenty of fluids;

c. Practice personal hygiene to prevent spread of disease; and

d. Seek appropriate medical care if there is persistent fever, when difficulty of

F. At Home:
1. Safety Measures to Take at Home after Going Out
a. Invest in a door opener. These can be attached to your key chain and help you
avoid having to come into contact with surfaces when opening doors, pressing
elevator buttons and using touchscreens.

b. Become a no-shoes house. Take off your shoes after being out and leaving them
at the door or just inside. Swap your leather bag to a canvas bag (in order to be
able to clean it more effectively) and leave your bag near the front door.

c. Wash your clothes and face mask after each use. Surgical masks or N-95s
shouldn't be washed, but let them disinfect for at least 72 hours before reusing.

d. Clean your phone, keys, glasses, and water bottle after leaving the house.

I. Contact tracing for Employers
►How to handle investigations and notifications if a worker has COVID-19.
►Worksite investigation is conducted by HR, a narrower version of public health contact tracing.
►Employers should be careful to maintain confidentiality and avoid alarming the entire workforce.

1. Be prepared. Describe company's contact-tracing process as part of a policy for responding to a

case of COVID-19 in the workplace, and make the policy available to all employees, notifying them
that if they contract the coronavirus, they will be asked to provide a list of contacts at work. Set up
processes to allow for quick identification of contacts, such as meeting logs. Create a list of standard
questions or talking points to use in interviews to learn the movements of the exposed person and to
provide guidance for seeking medical help.

2. Prioritize confidentiality. Employers have the right to ask employees if they have symptoms or have
been diagnosed with COVID-19. Never divulge the name of an infected employee to others at the
workplace beyond those conducting the investigation.

3. Work with state and local health departments. Health departments may also be able to assist
employers in conducting worksite tracing. Hospitals/clinics inform DOH and LGUs of Covid+ findings.

4. Follow up with quarantined employees. Stay in touch with employees who've been quarantined,
and if any of them show symptoms or are diagnosed with COVID-19, begin another contact-tracing
exercise to identify those they might have exposed.

followed for the testing and interpretation of results.

b. Company policy on Covid-19 testing shall be formulated and agreed

upon CMRP and personnel in conformity with DOH protocols.

c. Personnel with negative test shall continue to work. They will be

given appropriate advise and instructions once they develop any any
health complaints or symptoms. CMRP’s Safety Officer or nurse shall
continue to monitor all personnel.

d. CMRP Mgt. will provide the DOLE through its Regional Office copy
furnished DOH monthly reporting of illness, diseases and injuries
using the DOLE Work Accident / Illness Report Form (WAIR).
