Mar 04, 2020
NEW DELHI, 4 March 2020: FICCI today issued general advisory for its members on COVID-19 and released information leaflet for public on prevention and control.
COVID-19, the novel coronavirus outbreak, has spread to more than 70 countries, infecting nearly 1 lakh people and has resurfaced in India on March 2nd. It is primarily spread between people via respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes; therefore, maintaining high standards of personal hygiene and infection control is of utmost importance for all. If one is in/have recently travelled to an area where there is an outbreak of COVID-19, they need to take the risk of infection seriously.
As the rate of transmission of COVID-19 is high, though the severity is low, all members who have recently travelled to countries/areas with high reported cases of COVID-19 are advised to refrain from attending physical meetings, conferences or other business events and should avoid visiting public places to minimize the risk of spreading the infection.
