Importance of keeping compliance with COVID-19 prevention measures

Unfortunately, the incidence rate of COVID-19 infections has increased alarmingly in Spain. For that reason, we remind you all of the importance of complying with prevention measures against COVID-19 infections.

1.- Which are the measures that I must continue to comply?

In ROVI:

·        Maintain the minimum interpersonal distance of 2 meters with your colleagues whenever possible.

·        Use mask at all times.

·        Hands hygiene.

·        Systematic and frequent ventilation of your workplace.

·        Prohibition of face-to-face meetings except in case of impossibility of executing the tasks in another way. In case they are essential to respect capacity and use of masks

·        Respect the rules on mobility between workplaces and canteens that we have established.

·        Keep isolation and quarantine when prescribed, either because you are diagnosed with Coronavirus infection (with or without symptoms), or because you have had close contact with someone with COVID-19.

In my personal life:

In addition, of all the above it is advisable to limit the number of people we meet in our social life, and choose whenever possible outdoor activities or in well-ventilated spaces.

Regarding the mask: as you know it is no longer mandatory to use the mask in open spaces, but as long as you can maintain a safe distance.

Ask yourself when this is really possible in the cities we live in. Most of the sidewalks we travel on have a distance of less than 2 meters, so it is not possible to maintain a safe distance. Be responsible and continue to wear the mask in case of any doubt of being able to keep your distance. Protect yourself and help protect others!

2.- Why is it important that you continue to comply with these measures?

Current evidence indicates that different vaccines against COVID-19 are effective in reducing symptomatic and asymptomatic infection, mild, moderate and severe disease, and mortality. However, it is known that the immunity generated by vaccines does not prevent you from getting infected again. This implies that even if vaccinated:

· You can get infected

· You can spread it to others

· The DELTA variant is more contagious and serious than the previous ones. Any oversight can make your family, friends and colleagues very sick.

For all these reasons, we ask you not to lower your guard and continue to comply as before with the prevention measures against covid-19 infections, both in Rovi and your private life.

Thank you all so much for your commitment, when you protect yourself you are protecting others!
