Offices, where a case of Covid-19 is reported on the premises can now resume work following a proper disinfection without closing or sealing the area, as per a fresh set of guidelines issued by the Union Health Ministry.

In standard operating procedures (SOPs) on preventive measures to contain spread of Covid-19 in offices, the ministry said: "In case of one or two Covid-19 cases reported in offices, the disinfection procedure will be limited to places/areas occupied and visited by the patient in past 48 hours and work can be resumed after disinfection as per laid down protocol."
