GENERAL INFO : RETURN TO WORK
In the time of the current COVID-19 Pandemic and until there is a definitive treatment or vaccine that can protect us from the SARS-CoV 2 infection that is the cause for the COVID19 infection, we need to maintain infection control practices that help to reduce transmission. Any action should be based on the key principles of Occupational Safety and Health.
