Due to the arrival of the coronavirus (Covid-19) to Mexico and its extension to various entities in the country, a forward-thinking and responsible business sector is required more than ever to act without panic or alarmism and prepare various actions to protect the integrity and health of its workers. Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez, Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion of the Ministry of Health, exemplified that Germany, which is in a more advanced phase than Mexico in cases of contagion, allows a good part of its workforce to carry out their activities. remotely, with the so-called home office. So far, another country that has implemented the home office en masse in its different workplaces is China , for obvious reasons. Mexico is expected to move to a next phase with community contagion in the coming weeks, expecting the presence of dozens of patients in specific cities or localities, the official stated.
He added that “when this situation occurs, prevention measures must be implemented such as the installation of screening filters in schools and workplaces. "We invite companies to act proactively and install health filters in their facilities." Companies were urged to massively spread hygiene habits, such as washing hands with soap and even considering using antibacterial gel that contains at least 70% alcohol to be effective in its task of eliminating germs. Among the America Cell Phone Number List recommendations that the business sector can establish is having health continuity plans, redistribution of tasks and/or home office for those who may be absent from their jobs, as well as access health filters. Miguel Ángel Santinelli, director of the Faculty of Social Responsibility of the Anáhuac University, declared that the Covid-19 situation in Mexico is calm, however, the private sector has to be very far-sighted, act with great responsibility and not be surprised by this pandemic. He gave an example with the Anáhuac University, which is preparing an emergency plan so that students have online classes and do not lose the semester. The decision will be made in the most responsible manner by the highest authorities of the University.

“We must be prepared, we do not want to wait until the last minute to act on this reality.” Authorities at Tecnológico de Monterrey announced that starting March 17 they will cancel their in-person classes and will begin virtual educational continuity courses starting March 23. In addition, the various cultural, social and sporting events on the ITESM campuses are suspended until further notice. “During Easter, the continuity of these measures will be evaluated to return to normality.” Covid-19 opens doors to new technologies Vijay Sundaram, global head of strategy at Zoho, stated that the current panorama gives us the possibility of implementing remote collaboration tools as a preventive measure against the newly named Covid-19 pandemic. There is always something to learn in times of crisis, it is time more than ever to use the Internet. At Zoho we implement home offices to manage and coordinate remote work.
