Safety measures including no-handshake policies, temperature testing, intensive cleaning, and contact logs to facilitate contact tracing are set to be introduced for businesses re-opening shortly under a new protocol for employers and workers on dealing with Covid-19.
The confidential draft version of the "Return to Work Safely Protocol" dated yesterday and seen by RTÉ News also warns that workers returning from the recent shut-down may need support for anxiety or stress, due to traumatic events including financial difficulties, the illness or death of a relative or friend, or problems with their personal relationships.
