Domestic Help: Take these  precautions at home

It is good if an outside person is not called indoors for domestic help

But if you must and need help then there are some precautions which are must and its very important that you take care.

Domestic Help Precautions: There has been a lockdown in India since 24 March due to Corona virus. Under which no one is allowed to go out of the house except in emergency. In such a situation, all of us have been doing all the household chores for more than a month. But, since May 4, restrictions have been relaxed in many states, in such a situation, many people are thinking of bringing back their worker for help in domestic work. However, it is good if an outside person is not invited inside the house for household chores. But if you have need for help then there are some things which are very important to take care of.

1. Keep a mask and gloves. For the home worker, keep a cloth mask and gloves outside the house so that he/she can wear it before coming inside the house. Keep in mind that even if he brings his own mask and gloves, but still give him both things fresh.When your worker returns home, wash the used masks and gloves thoroughly with soapy water and disinfectant so that he/she can still wear it the next day.

2. Keep clean shoes ready as well. Take off the shoes / slippers from the outside of the house and give them clean shoes or slippers to wear indoors. After that, disinfect it too.

3. Everyone at home wear masks
Not only the household worker but all the members of the house must also wear masks in his/her presence. Keep in mind that do not wear the same mask the next day without washing.

4. Keep distance from them (domestic workers). Do you have a habit of helping your domestic help with household chores? If so, do not help them at this time. Keep distance with each other. When she is cleaning a room, there should be no one else in that room. These precautions should be taken especially for young children and those who are already ill.If there is someone in your house who is not well and cannot move from the bed, then clean that room yourself and not get it cleaned it with a worker.

5. Don’t get your food cooked by them You can get chores like house sweeping, cleaning, utensils and clothes, but it will not be right to let them  cook for your family  it will not be good and right now in present time.

6. Wash the pots again. The virus remains alive on metal items for a long time. So it would be better if you wash the dishes yourself or wash the dishes again washed by the outside worker, then wash them once more yourself.
