Businesses are deconfining. The end of telework is coming soon with the return to the office. And much less rules. The distance of at least four square meters per employee is no longer the norm. We pass a distance of two meters between two people, wearing a mandatory mask if this distance is not possible.

The satisfied bosses

Telework is no longer the standard to be favored. Except for employees with fragile health, who risk a serious form of Covid-19. Gloves are not recommended and hand washing is recommended. Just like regular disinfection of workstations. Traffic plans must be maintained in order to avoid crossings of employees as much as possible.

This simplified health protocol should be implemented in the coming days. Great satisfactionfor the bosses, for whom these very strict constraints, and in particular that of the distance of four square meters, had a cost and slowed down productivity.

The Covid-19 remainscontinues to circulate quietly throughout France. And many employees are still not ready to resume transportation and do not want to return to the office.
