- how to prevent the spread of all respiratory infections, including the novel virus;
- what to do if someone with suspected or confirmed infection with COVID-19 has been in a workplace setting;
- what advice to give to individuals who have travelled to specific areas;
- cleaning offices and public spaces and handling waste where there are suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19;
