LOCKDOWN - THE RATIONALE FOR 15% PHYSICAL PRESENCE IN BUSINESSES

 Filenews 11 January 2021



Explanations of the decision to operate businesses and services with 15% of the total number of their staff and with a minimum presence of three (3) persons, if the employer so wishes, and a maximum of 20 persons, is given by the Ministry of Health.

According to an update, the decision was based on increased numbers of virus positives detected in recent times at law, accounting and audit firms, the Ministry of Health says.

As the Ministry of Health notes, it has been found that the transmission of the virus among workers results from the social interaction of employees during coffee or food breaks, etc.

It also explains how for these reasons came the "ceiling" of 20 people, which should be fixed per group even if rolling hours or rotating physical presence will be applied.

It also stresses that the philosophy of the measures is to limit our movements, to remain absolutely necessary for the 3-week period, in order to reduce epidemiological indicators for both cases and hospitalizations. "Only in this way will the measures be gradually de-escalation achieved and there will be no need to extend the lockdown," he added.
