Hygiene Routines at The Colours of Nature

22 May 2020: Now that we are having some of our work force back in action at the premises, we are happy to share a brief report on the routines that we have implemented. This is especially important as we have no COVID-19 cases in Auroville but there are active cases in the surrounding villages. Early morning, before the start of the regular work the entire facility is treated with disinfectant. Then, as staff start to enter for work, we check that a mask is being worn and that the temperature of a person does not give a cause for concern. Next, before accessing their station of work each person thoroughly washes their hands and sanitizes them. Throughout the day we keep wearing masks, wash hands and sanitize, plus disinfect the facilities on a regular basis. Furthermore, we continue to stick to smaller teams. Sitting more spread out people remain at a distance at all times possible.
