Recommended that businesses need to activate the highest level of
epidemic prevention control, develop a master scenario for response and
handling actions when there are employees infected with Covid-19. However,
businesses need to calmly implement measures to prevent, detect, isolate,
localize, stamp out and treat the pandemic.
Department of Industry and Trade had sent a document to industry associations,
supermarkets, shopping centers and businesses to demand the serious
implementation of epidemic prevention and control at offices, factories and
enterprises; maintain regular disinfection at workplace, temperature
measurement for all workers before entering factories; install hand sanitizer
dispensers; provide face masks for workers; implement the "5K"
message of Ministry of Health.
Companies
need to instruct employees to install Bluezone mobile app to get warning of
suspected infected persons; organize for employees to make mandatory medical
declarations at ward- or commune-level health stations or make online voluntary
medical declarations on Ncovi mobile app for employees returning to work after
day-offs. In addition, it is necessary to promptly provide information
related to the epidemic situation and company's activities for the authorities
in order to effectively support the disease prevention and control work.
To
companies participating in market stabilization and distribution, such as
supermarkets, shopping centers, convenience stores, conventional markets, in
addition to continuing to stabilize the essential goods market, ensure the
supply of goods to serve the people, it is necessary to coordinate with local
authorities to develop a plan to supply goods to areas subject to quarantine;
while strictly implementing measures to prevent, control and assess contagious
risks at shopping centers, supermarkets and markets under the guidance of
Ministry of Industry and Trade and Ministry of Health; It is compulsory for all
staff and people to wear face masks when working and shopping.

workers are easy to form large outbreaks with a high risk of cross-infection.

business activities, as well as the lives and jobs of laborers.

workers), the company rearranged their dining hall, set up partitions, ensure a
safe distance, equipped with hand sanitizer, install more hand washing basins
near workshops for employees to wash their hands regularly. In addition, the

strengthened information management, encourage enterprises to focus on
