The Impact of Cold and Flu Season in Offices & What You Can Do

The cold and flu season is upon us! While COVID-19 remains a serious concern for most office goers and everyone continues to act more cautious, there are a variety of other viruses that can be spread throughout the office. However, there are still many ways offices can help mitigate the spread of germs. Consistent deep cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces using EPA approved products will be essential to keeping a healthy workplace.

How Do Germs Spread Within an Office?

Unfortunately, not all office policies accommodate for sick employees. If someone in the office is experiencing cold, flu, or COVID symptoms, encourage them to stay home and only return to the workspace once they feel better. To help prevent germs from spreading, implement safe practices such as staying socially distant and wearing face masks when possible.
