How it spreads

Predominately spread from person to person.

• Between people who are in close contact with one another by touching or shaking hands
• JLL policy states within a distance of 6 feet (or 2 meters) for greater than 15 minutes

• Through respiratory droplets from an infected person who coughs or sneezes.

• Touching a surface that has the virus on it and then touching your nose, mouth, or eyes before
washing your hands

Note – COVID-19 is thought to be most contagious when showing symptoms, but some new
evidence is showing asymptomatic people may be contagious also.

How to protect yourself, cont.

If your role requires you to have to enter an area where a suspect or confirmed case has been
identified or you work on Healthcare accounts, please plan ahead and prepare:

• Ensure you have all of the information needed in relation to the situation before you start the job

• Ensure you have the required PPE to protect yourself when entering the area
• PPE may include gloves, respirators, face shields, aprons etc.

• Receive training on the proper use of required PPE

• Healthcare account facilities may have additional requirements

• If the required PPE is not available, then you are not to enter the space and discuss alternate
solutions with your manager or supervisor

*US ONLY: In California employers must meet Cal OSHA requirements for sites not covered by their ATD Standard.
