Q: I am a company manager. What should I pay attention to during the pandemic? 💁 Tracy: If possible, try to let employees work from home. However, if some employees have to work in the office, please pay attention to the followings: Educate and communicate with employees (including cleaning staff) on prevention and hygiene practices during the pandemic (please refer to CDC and public health departments for most updated guidelines).   Check the health status of all employees on a regular basis, survey if any employee has COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, fatigue, fever, difficulty breathing, etc. At the same time, check whether any employee has been in contact with someone who is sick and may be asymptomatic.  If an employee indicates that he/she may be sick or have a high risk of infection, consider allowing the employee to work from home or go home for self isolation; current diagnosis and treatment resources are limited and may not be adequate for everyone to be test
