Abstract

Workplaces are susceptible places for exposure to the new coronavirus (Covid-19) infection due to gathering of many
people. Hence, different instructions have been promoted by international organizations regarding high-risk employees
and the necessity of implementing health policies to prevent exposure and infection in the workplace. Here we reviewed
the required strategies to prevent and control COVID-19 in the workplace. In conclusion, considering the fast spreading
and growing prevalence of the new corona virus disease in the world over, all managers, employers, and business
owners should receive the necessary information and training on prevention and control strategies based on scientific
guidelines and standards.
