It is critically important that all your staff are trained. Not only do they need to understand the symptoms and basic preventative measures for COVID-19, they also need to understand the new procedures put in place to help prevent the spread to other employees and customers and understand why these procedures are in place. The following is a sample agenda for the COVID-19 Training:
Agenda for COVID-19 Training
- Symptoms
