Prioritising Community Health and Safety
As COVID 19 continues to affect communities around Australia, it is important to consider the impact on office environments.
Human coronaviruses are spread in a similar way to the flu (influenza), when someone either comes into close contact with another who is infected or by coming into contact with a contaminated surface or object.
In order to safeguard the health and wellbeing of all workplaces we recommend reviewing processes & procedures regarding ordering and handling of food at meetings and events.
