  • For employees who are not ready to report for work in their offices may consult with their health and safety or union representatives to discuss flexible working arrangements.
  • The group emphasized complete vaccination with booster shot, physical distancing, wearing masks in some work settings, good ventilation and other infection prevention controls are effective ways to ensure safety in the workplace against COVID.
