Implementation of measures against pandemic influenza in waste treatment

For processing companies engaged in waste disposal work in areas where patients and close contacts were active, ensure thorough health management of employees, for example, for those with fever symptoms, consult the fever consultation center, wait at home, etc., and consider time lag commuting or bicycle commuting to avoid using public transportation during rush hours.
