Guide for Organisations
to follow under
COVID-19 Pandemic
“Addressing the humanitarian
challenge should be our priority
at all work sites”
(Note: This 'Guide has been compiled by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry
(FICCI) from best practices adopted by corporates across the globe and are intended to help reduce the
impact of COVID-19 outbreak in the country on businesses. Employers and workers may use this planning
guidance to help prepare their workplaces for prevention of infection as well as for enhancing their
productivity through workplace flexibility and workforce preparedness.)
COVID-19, already a pandemic, is spreading rapidly taking the world by surprise, causing a great deal of
uncertainty for the next phase of the disease as well as for the global economy. Epidemiologists suggest
that the virus is highly transmissible and can cause nationally incapacitating epidemics once transmission
within the community is established. It has been analysed that the below three scenarios could emerge in
the coming weeks:
Further, the pandemic will impact all types of industries and organisations around the globe. In India too,
with the increasing rate of infections, it is expected that all sectors would experience some impact.
02
In order to minimize the impact on our businesses, workers, customers, and the public, we would need to
plan and act now. Some of the situations that we would need to tackle are:
l Absenteeism: resulting from people avoiding work in the fear of being exposed to the virus, people
falling sick or needed to take care of someone who is sick
l Change in patterns of commerce: While demand for certain products and services to help deal
with the outbreak would go up, consumption of other items or services may reduce as people
attempt to change behavior to avoid acquiring the infection
l Interrupted supply/delivery: Disruptions in supply chain and distribution are likely, especially in
case of inputs sourced from geographies that have been impacted by the outbreak
Hence, it is crucial that we have our response strategies in place. Organisations would need to keep the
workplaces prepared for infection prevention and control as well as ensure the health and safety of our
employees. This needs thoughtful, people-first approach.
The organisations and employers may like to consider the following while planning for their response to the
pandemic:
Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response Plan for Businesses
l
l
Develop a plan considering and addressing specific level of risk associated with the worksites and jobtasks that workers perform at sites, with minimal impact on productivity or engagement
Prepare and test Contingency and Business Continuity plans to address social distancing
requirements, potential absenteeism, interrupted supply/delivery, change in demand of
products/services
03
l
Prepare temporary succession plans for key executive positions and critical roles in the business
l
Define your communication strategy- communicate with employees frequently and with the right
specificity
Analyse if there is any high-risk work or any paper-based processes or processes that cannot be
easily moved online and need a separate work plan
l
Infection Prevention at Workplace
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
Educate employees about COVID-19 symptoms and prevention and when to get tested for the disease
(Refer to the GoI information on when to get tested- Annexure A)
Create awareness and train employees on essential personal and respiratory hygiene, through
graphic posters, videos and e-learning modules (Refer the FICCI handout for COVID-19 infection
prevention and control- Annexure-1 and GoI's Corona Do's and Don't's- Annexure-2)
Promote regular and thorough hand-washing by employees, contractors and customers. Place
sanitising hand rub dispensers (alcohol-based) in prominent places around the workplace and ensure
adequate hygiene supplies are available for everyone
Step-up housekeeping services, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces,
equipment, and other elements of the work environment
Identify and designate an area within the workplace to act as an isolation room in case someone is
found infected at the site. Also develop protocols to isolate a potentially infected individual and
train select staff to follow these protocols (Refer to the National and State Helpline numbers for
reporting any symptoms of COVID-19- Annexure-3)
Encourage employees to inform and stay at home if sick or if they are a caregiver to someone
suffering from a respiratory infection (Refer GoI's guidelines for home quarantine- Annexure-4)
Provide masks to frontline employees dealing with large number of people and train them to not
touch their mouth, eyes and nose without washing their hands (Refer to the GoI Guidelines on use of
masks by public- Annexure-5)
Adopt a screening checklist for all the employees (one-time), customers and visitors at the entry point of
the organisation (Refer the FICCI Checklist for Screening- Annexure-6)
Install high-efficiency air filters and increase ventilation rates in the work environment
Workforce Flexibilities and Protection
l
l
l
Encourage social distancing by providing flexible worksites (e.g., telecommuting-working from home)
and flexible work hours (e.g., staggered shifts)
For work that cannot be made remote, evaluate what safeguards can be put in place, such as revised
cleaning protocols or personal protective equipment
Limit local, domestic and international travel requirements for employees and discontinue non-
04
l
l
l
essential travel to locations with ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks. Employers should actively monitor the
latest travel guidelines from the Government of India (Refer to the GoI's Consolidated Travel Advisory
for COVID-19- Annexure-7)
Use videoconferencing for meetings when possible; when not possible, hold meetings in wellventilated spaces. Consider postponing large meetings or gatherings (Refer GoI advisory for mass
gatherings- Annexure-8)
Work with the insurance companies providing employee health benefits and health agencies to
provide information about medical care for the outbreak
Plan for contingent financial support and protection that the company or employees may require
Essentials for Working Remotely
In a pandemic, remote work cannot be considered a privilege but a standard operating mode for the
businesses. Hence, it is important to establish that there is a difference between being at home during work
hours, and working remotely in a way that maintains (or enhances) business operations. The employers
can take below steps to ensure that working remotely does not reduce their productivity:
l Develop a remote-working policy for your organisation with clear communication channels
l Develop clear protocols and obligations for employees who are at risk, who are not at risk but are
working remotely as well as for all employees to return to work when situation is safe
l Create a short-term as well as long-term plan for working remotely, in case the situation of
pandemic is prolonged
l Establish a cross-functional team to develop a coordinated response effort and to help guide the
employees on their work plan. The cross-functional team should be trained and empowered to plan
and oversee the work being undertaken remotely
05
l
l
l
l
Educate employees on having a dedicated working area, maintaining regular communication with
their managers as well as following personal and respiratory hygiene for their home-offices
Provide essential equipment for your employees to be able to work effectively from home
Create a platform for employees to access up-to-date information on the outbreak, preventive
practices and travel advisories. Consider a dedicated hotline for inquiries from employees
A combination of technologies- (e.g., remote access, cyber), practices and policies, safeguards,
and training- should be utilized to support a wide remote-work deployment
Some apps to make remote working easier:
] Slack- most commonly used for messaging, voice and video calls, sharing and editing
documents https://slack.com/intl/en-in/
] Basecamp3- project management app has message boards, to-do lists, schedules, docs, file
storage, real-time group chat, and automatic check-in questions https://basecamp.com/via
] Zoom- allows screen-sharing and cross-platform instant messaging https://zoom.us/
] Harvest- track time and log expenses as well as manage invoices https://www.getharvest.com/
] Doodle- create polls, invite others to participate in them and get their feedback
https://doodle.com/en_GB/calendar-app
] Noisli- drowns out noises and helps you to concentrate https://www.noisli.com/
] G-Suite apps- Google's apps like Docs, Hangout and Drive for coordinating work and sharing
files https://gsuite.google.com/intl/en_in/
] Microsoft Teams- for sharing documents, text and video chats with colleagues and access to
Office 365 https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads
Safety Plan for Essential Business Travel
In case any employee needs to undertake an essential travel for business or personal reasons, the
employer may assist in the following manner:
l All persons travelling should be briefed by a qualified healthcare professional on the precautions
needed including regular hand-washing
l Employees who have returned from recent travel to affected region should monitor themselves for
symptoms for 14 days and take their temperature twice a day
l If they develop even a mild cough or low-grade fever (i.e. a temperature of 37.3 C or more), they should
stay at home and self-isolate. This means avoiding close contact (one meter or nearer) with other
people, including family members, and inform the employer as well as a nearby healthcare
provider

Guidelines for home quarantine
Scope
Detection of a travel related/unrelated suspect case of novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID19) will be
followed by rapid isolation of such cases in designated health facilities and line listing of all contacts of such
cases.Home quarantine is applicable to all such contacts of a suspect or confirmed case of COVID-19.
This intervention will be limited to the initial phase of India reporting only (i) travel related cases and (ii) focal
clusters arising from a travel related/unrelated case where cluster containment strategy is adopted (iii)
Persons coming from COVID-19 affected areas where local and community transmission is evident.
Definition of contact
A contact is defined as a healthy person that has been in such association with an infected person or a
contaminated environment as to have exposed and is therefore at a higher risk of developing disease.
A contact in the context of COVID-19 is:
l
A person living in the same household as a COVID-19 case; • A person having had direct physical
contact with a COVID-19 case or his/her infectious secretions without recommended personal
protective equipment (PPE) or with a possible breach of PPE • A person who was in a closed
environment or had face to face contact with a COVID-19 case at a distance of within1metre
including air travel;
The epidemiological link may have occurred within a 14-day period before the onset of illness in the case
under consideration.
Instructions for contacts being home quarantined
The home quarantined person should:
Stay in a well-ventilated single-room preferably with an attached/separate toilet. If another family member
needs to stay in the same room, it’s advisable to maintain a distance of at least 1 meter between the two.
l
Needs to stay away from elderly people, pregnant women, children and persons with comorbidities within the household.
13

bedding, or other items with other people at home.
l
Wear a surgical mask at all the time. The mask should be changed every 6-8 hours and disposed
off. Disposable masks are never to be reused.
l
Masks used by patients / care givers/ close contacts during home care should be disinfected using
ordinary bleach solution (5%) or sodium hypochlorite solution (1%) and then disposed of either by
burning or deep burial.
l
Used mask should be considered as potentially infected.
l
If symptoms appear (cough/fever/difficulty in breathing), he/she should immediately inform the
nearest health centre or call 011-23978046.
Instructions for the family members of persons being home quarantined
l
Only an assigned family member should be tasked with taking care of the such person
l
Avoid shaking the soiled linen or direct contact with skin
l
Use disposable gloves when cleaning the surfaces or handling soiled linen
l
Wash hands after removing gloves
l
Visitors should not be allowed
l
In case the person being quarantined becomes symptomatic, all his close contacts will be home
quarantined (for 14 days) and followed up for an additional 14days or till the report of such case
turns out negative on lab testing
Environmental sanitation
a)
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces in the quarantined person’s room (e.g. bed
frames, tables etc.) daily with 1%Sodium Hypochlorite Solution. b) Clean and disinfect toilet
surfaces daily with regular household bleach solution/phenolic disinfectants c) Clean the clothes
and other linen used by the person separately using common household detergent and dry.

Novel Corornavirus Disease (COVID-19)
Guidelines on use of masks by public
1. Introduction
A new disease named novel coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in early December 2019 in China and
has now spread to over 90 countries. As on 9th March 2020, India has reported 42 cases mostly among
those who had travelled from affected countries. It causes a minor illness in majority of patients with
symptoms of fever and or cough. A small proportion of such persons may progress to severe disease
with difficulty in breathing.
It is spread by an infected person with COVID coughing and the droplets from his cough infecting others
in close vicinity (less than 1 metre).
Any such new disease invariably related to cough leads to suggestions from various quarters,
especially in social media, to use mask by general public to prevent the disease.
2. Purpose of this document
The purpose of this document is to give correct evidence based information to general public on use of
mask.
3. Medical masks
Medical masks of different size and shapes are available in the market. The common ones are flat
pleated masks of woven fabric which covers the nose and mouth and affixed behind the head with
straps/ elastic fasteners. There are also conical or duck bill shaped masks with valves (or without
valves) that fit in the contour of face over the nose and mouth, but are costlier.
4. Use of masks by general public
4.1. Persons having no symptoms are not to use mask
Medical masks should not be used by healthy persons who are not having any symptoms because it
create a false sense of security that can lead to neglecting other essential measures such as washing of
hands.
15
Further, there is no scientific evidence to show health benefit of using masks for non-sick persons in the
community. In fact erroneous use of masks or continuous use of a disposable mask for longer than 6
hours or repeated use of same mask may actually increase risk of getting an infection. It also incurs
unnecessary cost.
In such situation, more effective steps are:
i.
Wash hands frequently with soap and water for 40 seconds. An alcohol based hand sanitizer with
70% alcohol must be used for 20 seconds. If hands are dirty or soiled, do not use alcohol based
hand sanitizer, but wash hands preferably with soap and water.
ii.
While coughing or sneezing cover nose and mouth with handkerchief, paper tissue. If
handkerchief or tissue paper is not available cough into the flexed elbow. Dispose of tissue
immediately after use and wash hands.
iii. Refrain from touching face, mouth, nose and eyes.
iv. Stay at least a metre away from those coughing or sneezing.
v.
4.2.
Monitor your body temperature.
When and who should use medical masks (apart from health care worker).
4.2.1. When a person develops cough or fever.
Use of medical three layer masks when ill, will prevent your infection from spreading to others.
However you also need to wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading infection to others.
4.2.2. While visiting a healthcare facility.
4.2.3. When you are caring for an ill person.
4.2.4. Close family contacts of such suspect/confirmed cases undergoing home care should also use Triple
layer medical mask.
4.3.
Duration for which a medical mask will remain effective
A medical mask, if properly worn, will be effective for 8 hours. If it gets wet in between, it needs to be
changed immediately.
4.4.
Correct procedure of wearing triple layer mask
While wearing a medical mask, the steps given below needs to be followed. If you do not follow them,
you may get infected from the mask itself. These steps are:
Unfold the pleats; make sure that they are facing down.
Place over nose, mouth and chin.
Fit flexible nose piece (a metallic strip that can easily be located) over nosebridge.
Secure with tie strings (upper string to be tied on top of head above the ears – lower string at the
back of the neck.)
16
Ensure there are no gaps on either side of the mask, adjust to fit.
While in use, avoid touching the mask.
Do not let the mask hanging from the neck.
Change the mask after six hours or as soon as they become wet.
Disposable masks are never to be reused and should be disposed off.
While removing the mask great care must be taken not to touch the potentially contaminated
outer surface of the mask
To remove mask first untie the string below and then the string above and handle the mask using
the upper strings.
4.5. Disposal of used masks
Used mask should be considered as potentially infected. Masks used by patients / care givers/ close
contacts during home care should be disinfected using ordinary bleach solution (5%) or sodium
hypochlorite solution (1%) and then disposed of either by burning or deep burial.

Established in 1927, FICCI is the largest and oldest apex business organisation in
India. Its history is closely interwoven with India’s struggle for independence, its
industrialization, and its emergence as one of the most rapidly growing global
economies. A non-government, not-for-profit organisation, FICCI is the voice of
India’s business and industry. From influencing policy to encouraging debate,
engaging with policy makers and civil society, FICCI articulates the views and
concerns of industry. It serves its members from the Indian private and public
corporate sectors and multinational companies, drawing its strength from diverse
regional chambers of commerce and industry across states, reaching out to over
2,50,000 companies. The chamber with its presence in 14 states and 10 countries,
provides a platform for networking and consensus building within and across sectors
and is the first port of call for Indian industry, policy makers and the international
business community.
