In the fight against Covid-19, according to World Medical President Frank Ulrich Montgomery, penalties should not be taboo for companies if they refuse to use the home office more often.
"If companies become sources of infection and social costs arise as a result, although this could be avoided by more home office in the company, then fines are also required for companies," said Montgomery of the "Saarbrücker Zeitung" (Saturday edition).
Despite the lockdown, there are still too many personal contacts and too much mobility, explained Montgomery.
For the professional sector, this means “everything that can be relocated to the home office”.
At the same time, the hygiene concepts in the companies would have to be meticulously checked again for their effectiveness.
"It is of little use to sit alone in the office, but at lunchtime in the canteen with many colleagues," said Montgomery.
In addition, he thinks a reduction in contact is justified “at the price of the temporary shutdown of individual production areas”, according to the doctor.
