MEA deploys measures to prevent Covid-19 from spreading
The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) has employed measures to prevent the spreading of the new coronavirus, or Covid-19, at the MEA head and branch offices.
Phasuk Sampunnachote, director of organisation relations, said that the MEA is concerned about the safety of its staff and customers who come to its facilities to register for services or pay for electricity bills. “We have installed thermoscanners at all entrances to check if anyone has a fever,” she said. “Furthermore, we have hired professional cleaning staff to scrub down our buildings with disinfectants both at customer service areas and offices to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and other germs.”
Phasuk further added that the MEA has ordered all staff to strictly follow the announcements and advices from Ministry of Public Health, as well as publicised general knowledge on Covid-19 and how to prevent oneself from infection via the MEA’s public relation channels both traditional and online.
“The three key steps to prevent Covid-19 spreading are: Avoid staying in crowded areas; avoid making contact with those displaying respiratory symptoms; and take care of hygiene by regularly washing your hands and wear fabric face mask,” she added.
“As for those who have just come back from countries with high risk of infection, please follow the regulations set by the Ministry of Public Health, which include self-quarantine in your residence for at least 14 days,” added Phasuk.
