Together against the corona virus
To inhibit the spread of the virus, everyone is advised to strictly apply hygiene measures. In addition to paying attention to your own health and personal hygiene, you can also apply various tips that limit your contact with others. In this way you relieve the work of doctors and hospitals and help protect vulnerable people. So everyone has a role in ensuring that the coronavirus spreads as little as possible.
You can apply the following measures to improve your personal hygiene:
1. Stay home if you are ill. Do not go to the emergency department of AZ Zeno, but contact your doctor.
2. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water.
3. Use a new tissue paper each time and dispose of it in a lockable trash can.
4. No handkerchief? Cough or sneeze into your elbow cavity.
Slow down the spread of the virus with these tips:
1. Avoid giving hands, kissing or hugging when you greet someone.
2. Be attentive to risk groups (persons over 65 years of age, diabetics, persons with heart, lung or kidney diseases, children younger than 6 months, pregnant women, persons with a weakened immune system,…)
3. Children do not get seriously ill from the coronavirus, but can spread it easily. Contact between children and the elderly is therefore not recommended.
4. Avoid contact with people who are visibly ill or keep a sufficient distance.
Recommendations for schools
Children can continue to go to school (if they are not sick). With these tips, schools can limit the spread of the virus:
· Postpone school parties, open days or parent contacts for the time being.
· It is strongly discouraged to go to places where there are many vulnerable persons.
One-day school trips can continue, especially outdoors. Multi-day school trips abroad are not recommended.
Recommendations for companies
Companies are recommended to limit the number of people in one room as much as possible:
· Give employees the opportunity to telework.
Postpone or organize meetings remotely, eg via video conference.
· Postpone staff or company parties for the time being.
· Keep your distance on the work floor.
If possible, allow flexible leave and extend flex hours if necessary. For example, fewer people are present on the work floor (and on public transport) at the same time.
· Training in large groups is not recommended.
More stringent measures for residential care centers

This measure applies provisionally until the end of the Easter holidays. In order not to disrupt the functioning of the residential care centers, an exception has been made for:
External health care providers
Interns
Registered caregivers and volunteers who perform essential ADL tasks (daily life activities)
Additional exceptions can be allowed by management and CRA (Coordinating and Consulting Physician) (e.g. for palliative patients)
This group that is allowed to enter will have to meet the same safety regulations as personnel. |
