First Coronavirus, next a state of alarm, then confinement... now what? The end of confinement is specified in phases and should be promoted by each countries' government to combat the spread of the virus. These phases being encouraging the use of masks, hygiene, and handwashing, maintaining social distance in public places and in transport, such as in elevators. That being said, it is important to communicate these protocols effectively and as soon as possible. Certain recommendations are encouraged to follow, that being the reason EDIT has prepared customizable templates with protocols and recommendations regarding how businesses should handle the Coronavirus. These templates are derived from advice from the WHO (World Health Organization) and various governments, making them very helpful to re-open your restaurant, store, bar, or company office with the utmost health precautions.

Communicating this information to employees and customers is very important in order to comply with the safety tips for post-crisis Coronavirus, both in offices and in stores:

• General recommendations
• Recommendations for offices
• Recommendations for restaurants and bars
• Recommendations for supermarkets and stores
• Recommendations for communities

Recommendations and general protocols for business:

• Reduced maximum capacity. Limit access to the indicated number of people according to the square feet of the space, which could be reduced to less than 20% of the normal capacity.
• Social distance. Maintain the safety distance of 6 feet. Use one of these social distance free posters.
• Mask. Wear a mask both on public transport and in closed spaces.
• Gloves. Wear gloves, especially inside supermarkets to avoid touching food and products directly with the hands.
• Fever. If anyone has symptoms or fever higher than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, do not allow entry, we recommend taking the temperature to the clients before entering.
• Card payment. In shops, whenever possible, pay by credit or debit card, to avoid the exchange of coins and bills that could be infected.

We have created post Coronavirus guides and specific resources for each type of business, for de-escalation and return to this so-called new normality. Depending on the space and use, there are certain recommendations that are more important:

Recommendations for offices:

• Use of gloves and masks.
• Daily cleaning of the workspace.
• Use of disinfectant gel before entering the office.
• Maintain the distance between employees of at least 6 feet.
• Maximum 5 people per meeting room. Leave a blank space between each of the chairs of a minimum of 6 feet.
• Take the stairs and avoid the elevator as much as possible (otherwise, only one person to get on the elevator)

Recommendations for restaurants and bars:

• Facilitate the client to see the restaurant menu in digital format from the client's mobile, or print it in larger letters to avoid contact with the paper menus.
• Make reservations in advance and online to avoid crowds.
• Wait at the entrance until the waiter assigns a table.
• Keep tables between diners at least 6 feet apart.
• Wash hands before eating.

Recommendations for supermarkets and stores:

• Avoid buying as a family or in a group.
• Make way for the elderly and people with reduced mobility.

Recommendations for communities of owners (also applicable to companies, incubators and coworkings):

• Communicate wisely, keeping a distance of at least 6 feet.
• Extreme daily cleaning in common areas such as access door to the portal, push button panels for elevators, push buttons and electronic door phones or bells, stair handrails, etc.
• Avoid direct contact with your hands on door knobs, elevator buttons, bells, etc.
• Avoid using the elevator and using stairs. In case of using it, do it individually.
• Reduce to the minimum the use of common areas or spaces.
• Delivery. Try to reduce orders for shipments to the office or home to only those of basic need, wiping hands well after each established reception.
• Defer holding face-to-face meetings.

You could even take the temperature of employees or customers with a laser thermometer, disinfect the air using Ozone disinfection, or even use UVA lamps to eliminate Covid-19 viruses, but before reaching these extremes, it is a priority to communicate the protocol recommendations to people who are at your work or visit it.

Do not wait more. All these recommendations are in EDIT. They are editable and customisable templates, to edit in one click and download, so you can have a poster to print. You can edit any of these templates just by clicking on the text, colors, icons... You can even add your business logo and you can download the poster, print it, hang it on the walls of your space and share it on social networks.

These designs can help you effectively communicate the recommendations to prevent contagion in your business and there are no more infected, so that you can continue with your active business and grow as much or more than before Covid 19.
