the nose, mouth or eyes of healthy person.

surrounding the infected person. It is possible that someone may become infected by touching a
contaminated surface, object, or the hand of an infected person and then touching their own mouth,
nose, or eyes.
Hence, for prevention of Covid19 exposure and spread, following practices must be followed by each
employee of the company:
1. Stringent personal hygiene and Sanitation practices,
2. Preventing Overcrowding and maintaining Social Distancing
