GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS / ADMINISTRATION:

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:

Continue hygiene and disinfection protocols, as well as social isolation measures to avoid contact with other people and contain the spread of the COVID -19 virus.

Cleaning measures on furniture and surfaces in common use should be intensified and cleaning and protection supplies should be guaranteed, as well as the availability of toilet paper, antibacterial soap, disposable towels, mask, gloves, gel alcohol, disinfectant, among others.

In the event that any person has a Sanitary Order issued by the Health authority, they must follow the guidelines on home isolation for Costa Ricans, residents and diplomats who enter the country due to the Coronavirus health alert (COVID-19).

Continue with the implementation of all the protocols that have been issued to date and are in force for the control of COVID-19.
