CBH information regarding the Corona virus
Currently, there is no general KTH recommendation regarding the spreading of the Corona virus. It is therefore up to each manager at the school to decide on preventive measures, possibly in consultation with the Head of school.
The CBH school management keeps a close eye on KTH's guidelines and recommendations concerning the handling of the Corona virus. For questions and reflections, please feel free to contact Head of school Mikael Lindström or the school's crisis management group .
Some advice to you as manager
Contact incoming co-workers
Contact eventual co-workers who are returning to the workplace from China to find out how they are feeling. Co-workers experiencing symptoms in airways and/or fever shall report themselves sick and immediately contact healthcare via telephone for guidance. Please feel free to consult 1177 Vårdguiden for clear instructions on how to contact healthcare in a safe and secure way.
Decision on working from home
As an employer, for work environment reasons you can also order incoming co-workers to work from home for 10-14 days, even though they are not sick or show symptoms.
Take concern seriously
Take concern from co-workers seriously. Try holding an open dialogue at the workplace, in order to listen to co-workers on home ground. Is there any concern for contamination etc?
If co-workers are planning to travel to China within a short time
Follow updated information from UD (The Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and Folkhälsomyndigheten (The Public Health Agency of Sweden). Currently, UD advises against all nonessential travel to the Hubei province in China and the information is updated constantly.
If you are expecting visitors from China
If your workplace is about to welcome visitors from China and there is concern among your co-workers, take the concern seriously. Consider whether there are others ways of meeting. Perhaps you can meet digitally or postpone the meeting to a later date.
Keep yourself updated
Follow updated information from CBH and KTH via e.g. intranet, newsletters and email. Feel free to contact
the school's crisis management group
or
Head of school
in case of further reflections.
