Coronavirus India update: State-wise total number of confirmed cases, deaths on April 20
Starting April 20, India's offices and workplaces will need to follow these norms
As India returns to work today, here's the Standard Operating Procedure that needs to be followed.
On Monday, India will slowly ease the restrictions brought in to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and try to revive stalled economic activity. The graded lifting of the lockdown, put in place on Mar 25 and extended till May 3, is an attempt to limit the damage to the economy and livelihoods of as many as 400 million poor.
The virus has infected more than 16,000 people in the country so far and the death toll has surpassed the 500-mark. Monday will see some parts of the economy get back to work, especially areas deemed 'virus-free'. IT/ITES offices have been told to work at 50% staff capacity.
Organisations will have to ensure every employee wears a face mask, no employee is closer than 6 feet from another, and that there are no meetings of 10 people or more. Those with children below 5 years of age and those aged above 65 will be encouraged to work from home.
Here's what the new normal for workplaces may look like this Monday
