What You Need to Know Before Reopening for Business
Should I reopen for business? The coronavirus disease has certainly made us take a good look at our hygiene practices at work. If you are trying to decide whether to reopen or you have remained open during the epidemic, the following guidelines by the CDC are valuable reminders for keeping people healthy at work. Now, when it’s more important than ever, we are supplying signs and signage solutions to help fight COVID-19 during this rapidly changing global challenge.

The following are recommendations by the CDC:
Are recommended health and safety actions in place?
- Promote healthy hygiene practices such as hand washing and employees wearing a cloth face covering, as feasible
- Intensify cleaning, disinfection, and ventilation
- Encourage social distancing and enhance spacing between employees, including through physical barriers, changing layout of workspaces, encouraging telework, closing or limiting access to communal spaces, staggering shifts and breaks, and limiting large events, when and where feasible
