As per the WHO guidelines, all associates are advised to regularly wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds specially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing their nose, coughing, or sneezing. They are also being asked to clean their vehicles and delivery devices regularly to ensure a safe delivery.
Temperature checks
We have begun temperature checks at select fulfilment centres, sort centres and delivery stations in India in an effort to ensure that employees, associates, partners and support staff are healthy when they arrive at work. Anyone registering a temperature over 99.5F will be asked to return home and only come back to work after they’ve gone three days without a fever. The complete rollout of temperature checks across our entire India operations network is expected in the next 10 days, at which point we will be testing thousands of people daily.
Personal protective equipment
We have reusable masks available now to Amazon associates, delivery service partners, Amazon Flex participants and other partners in our fulfilment network. These masks are already being distributed in many sites and will be available in all locations by the end of the week. We recommend all our associates wear re-usable facemask covering their nose and mouth from arrival through departure of their shifts at our sites, and also when they are out on the road during deliveries.
