“We already follow the recommendations ourselves, we meet remotely. (…) It is recommended that these conditions apply to both private institutions and companies. As far as possible, it is proposed to organize work in shifts, brigades , groups, whose employees do not change and do not mix and do not change. Some companies are already applying it, “said A. Veryga.
He stressed that the detection of coronavirus in a company or institution would avoid radical measures, that is, the isolation of a large number of employees and the interruption of the activities of the company or institution.
Set the start time
Another recommendation mentioned by the Minister is to apply different start, end and lunch times to different streams of employees depending on the possibilities.
“The goal is the same: that a group of employees as small as possible get together and communicate. This suggestion was also made about educational institutions so that children were less together,” he said.
The minister emphasized that the goal was to keep individual groups in contact as little as possible so that the infection does not spread. It is recommended to organize meetings and conferences remotely, if it is done live, wear protective equipment.
If workers are transported in one transport, there should be no people from different shifts.
It is also recommended that people from different shifts, groups do not have contacts in eating, smoking and other common areas. It is recommended that people who work different shifts are not transported in a single vehicle, ”he said.

Recommendations for feeding children
The Minister also reported that he had been informed that recommendations had been signed on the management of flows in the food supply.
Priority is recommended, as reported, for food and beverages brought from home to classrooms.
“In the event that food rations are given to students who eat for free, the first recommendation, if it is not possible to implement it, are recommendations on how to organize meals in the canteens of educational institutions,” said A. Veryga.
Commenting on the increase in the number of participants allowed in events since September, the minister has emphasized that schools should consider how to organize the September 1 commemoration, avoiding large gatherings.
“It would be more logical to divide the events into small groups where the distances could be maintained. Clearly, adults who come to the office should wear face protection without discouragement.
Because the gathered people still communicate with each other, which is not the group as a family that is seen on a daily basis. They really need to compact themselves, a few a day, so that children and parents don’t get too close together to keep contact to a minimum, ”he said.
