However, while the country is faced with its official lockdown, it is important that business owners, take into consideration the following before finally shutting down their various offices.

Take Out The Trash!
In as much as the lockdown is a bit impromptu to some companies, there is still enough time to get rid of waste each bin. Even if each bin has just shredded bits of paper, empty them. Keep the office environment tidy.
Clean The Kitchen

Stay Organised
The lockdown is not a reason to leave your desk untidy. Arrange your files properly and get rid of any unwanted sheet of paper from your desk.
