Here's another health reason to take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Susie Hediger, 56, who lives in Roeland Park, Kansas, worked as a cashier for a big-box lumber retailer when her governor issued a state of emergency in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Having been diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2019 and undergoing treatment, she wasn’t sure if it was safe for her to keep going to her job.
Overall advice on returning to workplaces Millions of American workers are facing similar challenges now that workplaces are opening back up. But employment advisers have suggestions on how to deal with them. “Check with your doctor and make sure it’s a safe environment based on your health, as well as assessing the location. If you’re in a COVID-19 hot spot, you may not want to go back,” says Bartlett.
Or consider public transportation — if that’s a safe option. Bartlett says many cities have closed off seats on trains and buses so people sit at least 6 feet apart. And they’ve often adopted strict sanitizing and mask-wearing protocols. Bartlett advises not to get on an elevator with more than five people. “Even that’s a lot,” she notes.
Says Bartlett: “We’ve gone to great lengths in the medical field to emphasize that common coffeepot handles should be washed and sanitized after each use and you should wash your hands when handling a common coffeepot. But I think many employers are missing the mark on break rooms, and they’re even more dangerous because you can’t wear a mask while eating.”Bartlett recommends 6-foot distancing, emphasizing that sitting across from someone at a table is actually only about 3 feet.
