After the revision of the COVID-19 Vigilance and Control Strategy by the Spanish health authorities, we set out below the rules that all ROVI group employees must follow in relation to the prevention of COVID-19, starting Monday, 25 April, 2022:
Compulsory masks
- Compulsory use of masks indoors in the following situations:
- At the workstation, when it is not possible to maintain an interpersonal distance equal to or greater than 1.5 metres. If the distance is equal to or greater than 1.5 metres, it will not be necessary to use a mask
- In all common areas and small enclosed spaces where people may concentrate, such as changing rooms, toilets, canteens and elevators.
- It will not be compulsory to wear a mask in outdoor spaces.
- ROVI will continue to provide one surgical mask per person per day to all workers.
Meeting rooms
The limitations on the capacity of meeting rooms will be removed, but it will be compulsory to wear a mask if the interpersonal distance between those present is not equal to or greater than 1.5 metres.
Ventilation
You are reminded that natural ventilation is compulsory for periods of 15 minutes approximately every two hours to favour the renewal of the air in the offices. For example, at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00.
60% in-person presence
We are increasing the proportion of in-person presence at our offices, recovering a percentage of 60%. This means that in-person presence is required for at least three days out of every five.
As an exception, the increase in in-person presence should take place gradually during the coming week. It will be applicable to all departments as of Monday, 2 May, 2022.
As has been the case to date, only the workstations marked with a green sign may be occupied.
Canteen
Use of the canteen will remain the same as at present.
Vulnerable groups
People aged 60 or over, those with weakened immune systems for intrinsic or extrinsic causes, and pregnant women.
People who fall within the above definition must report their situation to the Occupational Hazard Prevention Department in order to arrange an appointment with the occupational health area. If they are found to belong to a vulnerable group, the following measures will be adopted:
- Workers whose job does not allow teleworking, either totally or partially, will be provided with an FPP2 mask, which they must use throughout the working day, with no exceptions.
- Workers whose job allows teleworking will work under said system.
Confirmed cases
Workers who are diagnosed as having COVID-19 (through either an antigen test or a PCR) whose doctors have not authorised them to take sick leave (because their symptoms are mild) must observe the following rules:
- If their job allows teleworking, they must coordinate with their direct superior in order to work under this system for the seven calendar days following the onset of symptoms.
- If their job does not allow teleworking, infected workers without sick leave must come to work in person, observing the following rules:
- They must use an FPP2 mask throughout the working day, with no exceptions. The mask will be given to them by their department head (who must ask SYMA for it when he/she becomes aware that there is a positive in her/her team).
- They must maximise the precautions, limiting all forms of social interaction (meals, breaks, meetings, etc.) to the greatest extent possible.
We remind you that the notification box of ROVI has been disabled and that these infections must be handled in the same way as sick leave for any other reason, i.e. through Human Resources.
All these measures will be reviewed in accordance with the evolution of the instructions of the health authorities applicable to work centres and the evolution of the epidemiological situation.
