If someone who has COVID-19 (coronavirus) breathes or coughs out they release minute droplets of infected COVID-19 fluid. The majority of these droplets can fall on nearby objects, surfaces, equipment, machinery, parcels, door handles and many more objects such as desks, tables or telephones and everyone could catch coronavirus disease COVID-19 by touching already objects, surfaces or materials and then followed by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. If they are standing within one meter of a person with Coronavirus they can catch it by the breathing in of droplets, which is easier than you might think when it's simply breath or talking to each other at very close distance and this is why you MUST conform to the UK government social distancing guidelines.

Most people who have COVID-19 Coronavirus experience quite mild symptoms and recover, however, some infected patients experience a more life threatening illness Such as Boris Johnson and may need intensive hospital care. The risk of a serious coronavirus illness rises with age, as an example people over 40 years old seem to be more vulnerable patients under 40 years old. Anyone who has got a weakened immune system with underlying conditions such as diabetes, heart and lung disease are also more vulnerable to serious coronavirus illness.

Managing COVID-19 risks at meetings or events

Why do employers and businesses need to think about COVID-19? Companies that are organisers of events and meetings have to think about the risks from COVID-19 as here is a chance that anyone attending the meetings or events may well be unknowingly be bringing the COVID-19 Coronavirus to the meeting and everyone else might be unknowingly exposed to COVID-19. While COVID-19 is a mild disease for lots of people, it has the potential to make some people very ill indeed. Around 1 in every 5 people who contract COVID-19 will need hospital treatment.

Important considerations to prevent or reduce COVID-19 risks

Prior to the meeting or event see the advice from your local authorities in where you want to hold your meetings or events, follow their advice, arrange a plan and agree a preparedness plan to help prevent infection at your meeting or event, think about whether a face-to-face meeting or event is required or could it be replaced by a skype or an online event?, it it possible your meeting or events be scaled down so that not as many people attend?.

Pre-order plenty of supplies including tissues and hand sanitiser for all participants, you could have surgical masks available to offer people who might develop respiratory symptoms, monitor whereabouts COVID-19 is circulating and inform everyone in advance that if they show any symptoms or are feeling unwell then they should not attend. Ensure all organisers, participants, caterers and any visitors at the event provide their contact details such as mobile number, email and the address of where they are staying. Ensure you tell them that their details will be shared with the local public health authorities so if anyone becomes ill with a suspected infectious disease, if they don't agree with this then they cannot attend the event or meeting. Create and agree an action plan just in case someone at the meeting becomes ill with symptoms of COVID-19 (dry cough, fever, malaise). This plan needs to include at least a room or area where anyone who is feeling unwell or has symptoms can be safely isolated.

Include in your plan for how unwell people can be safely transported from there to a hospital, understand what to do if a participant, member of staff or service provider tests positive for COVID-19 during or following the meeting, prepare the plan well in advance with your local healthcare provider or health department. During your meeting or event provide relevant information or a briefing, you can do it both orally and in writing, on COVID-19 and the action steps that organisers are taking to ensure this event safe for everyone involved. Gain trust, for example, as an icebreaker, practice ways of greeting without touching or handshaking, promote regular hand-washing or use of an alcohol rub by everyone at the meeting or event, encourage everyone to cover their face with their elbow or a tissue if they need to cough or sneeze. Supply tissues and bins that close to dispose of them in, provide the contact details or a health care hotline number that everyone can call for advice or to provide information.

Install dispensers of alcohol-based hand sanitisers around the venue. If there is enough space, arrange seats so that everyone are at least 2 meters apart, to help with this you can place social distancing signs on the floor, keep windows and doors wherever possible to ensure the venue is well ventilated, should anyone who start to feel unwell, follow your plan or call your hotline depending on the situation in your area, or recent travel of the person, put the person in the isolation room and offer the person a mask so they can get home safely if appropriate or to a designated hospital. Thank everyone for their co-operation with the provisions in place. Following the meeting keep the names and contact details of everyone for at least one month, this will help public health authorities trace people who may have been exposed to COVID-19 if one or more participants become ill shortly after the event. If anyone at the meeting or event was isolated as contracting COVID-19, the organiser should let everyone else know this. They need to be advised to monitor themselves for any symptoms for 14 days and take their temperature twice a day, if they get even a mild cough or low-grade fever .e. a temperature of 37.3 C or more they should stay at home and self-isolate and follow the UK government guideline.
