We must have patience while we navigate the process. Employees and employers alike are eager to return to normal, or at least some semblance of normal, now that most states have lifted the stay-at-home orders. As you head back to your workplace, there are several steps you can take to stay safe and reduce the risk of infection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen returning to the workplace, safety starts with your own practices,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/raquel-nahra-md\">Raquel Nahra, MD, Infectious Diseases Specialist<\/a> at Cooper University Health Care. \u201cTo protect yourself, wear a mask that covers both your mouth and nose, not one or the other; practice proper and frequent handwashing hygiene; and maintain six feet of physical distance from others to prevent yourself from inhaling contaminated air from coughs and sneezes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some additional ways to stay healthy when going back to your workplace include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If you cannot wash your hands with soap and water, you can use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.<\/li>\n<li>When you touch public surfaces, wash your hands.<\/li>\n<li>Use bleach wipes on frequently touched objects and surfaces in your work area, including keyboards, phones, handrails, and doorknobs.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, avoid using other employees\u2019 phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment. If it is necessary to share, clean and disinfect the shared items before and after use.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid physical contact such as handshakes or hugs.<\/li>\n<li>Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.<\/li>\n<li>Inform your supervisor if you have a sick family member at home with COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the policies and procedures of your employer as related to illness, cleaning and disinfecting, work meetings, and travel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may experience a variety of emotions upon returning to work, which is normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEngage in proactive, not reactive, coping,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/philip-fizur-psyd\">Philip J. Fizur, PsyD,\u00a0 a clinical health psychologist at Cooper University Health Care<\/a>. \u201cSome practical tips for proactive self-care as you return to work: Don\u2019t work through breaks, step away from the desk to snack or get outside. Learn and regularly practice stretching and seated chair exercises \u2013 these are good for physical health and to help release tension and, thus, anxiety. Also, practice deep breathing techniques throughout the work day at regular intervals (when you first get to work, at lunch, an hour before day\u2019s end). If you need help, <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.va.gov\/app\/mindfulness-coach\">there is an app for that<\/a>!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some additional practical and proactive self-care tips include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Continue to take care of yourself. Eat well, get plenty of rest and exercise, and spend time with those closest to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Seek help if you need to. Talking about your feelings with someone you trust is a healthy way to process this evolving situation. If your feelings are too much to bear, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Mental health problems\u2014in general and in response to a major event such as the pandemic\u2014are real, diagnosable, and treatable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are a parent, you may have concerns about your children\u2019s well-being when you return to work. Help your children to understand and use proper hygiene practices, and let them talk about their feelings and what is going on as far as the new family schedule. This gives you an opportunity to have a discussion and to reassure them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Your work routines will be different than they were pre-COVID, just as your work routines were different when you first started working from home or your general routines were if you were furloughed. Rather than judging yourself, remember that you made that adjustment before and so you can make this adjustment, even if it is hard at times. Allow yourself time and patience for that to happen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flexibility, honest communication, and adherence to these best practices will help ease your transition to the new normal when returning to work.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Cooper\u2019s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/covid19\">cooperhealth.org\/covid19<\/a><br \/>\n<a><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Consejos para un Regreso Seguro al Lugar de Trabajo en la Nueva Normalidad<\/h2>\n<p>Volver a trabajar despu\u00e9s de una pandemia es un territorio nuevo para todos nosotros. Debemos tener paciencia mientras navegamos por el proceso. Tanto los empleados como los empleadores est\u00e1n ansiosos por volver a la normalidad, o al menos a una apariencia normal, ahora que la mayor\u00eda de los estados han levantado las \u00f3rdenes de quedarse en casa. A medida que regreses a su lugar de trabajo, hay varios pasos que puede seguir para mantenerse seguro y reducir el riesgo de infecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Al regresar al lugar de trabajo, la seguridad comienza con sus propias pr\u00e1cticas&#8221;, dice<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/raquel-nahra-md\"><u> Raquel Nahra, MD, Especialista en Enfermedades Infecciosas <\/u><\/a>en Cooper University Health Care. \u201cPara protegerse, use una m\u00e1scara que cubra tanto la boca como la nariz, no una ni la otra; practicar una higiene adecuada y frecuente del lavado de manos; y mantenga seis pies de distancia f\u00edsica de los dem\u00e1s para evitar inhalar aire contaminado de toses y estornudos &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Algunas formas adicionales de mantenerse saludable cuando regresa a su lugar de trabajo incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>L\u00e1vese las manos con frecuencia con agua y jab\u00f3n durante al menos 20 segundos. Si no puede lavarse las manos con agua y jab\u00f3n, puede usar un desinfectante para manos que contenga al menos 60% de alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>Evite tocarse los ojos, la nariz y la boca con las manos sin lavar.<\/li>\n<li>Cuando toque superficies p\u00fablicas, l\u00e1vese las manos.<\/li>\n<li>Use toallitas blanqueadoras en objetos y superficies que se tocan con frecuencia en su \u00e1rea de trabajo, incluidos teclados, tel\u00e9fonos, pasamanos y pomos de las puertas.<\/li>\n<li>Si es posible, evite usar los tel\u00e9fonos, escritorios, oficinas u otras herramientas y equipos de trabajo de otros empleados. Si es necesario compartir, limpiar y desinfectar los elementos compartidos antes y despu\u00e9s de su uso.<\/li>\n<li>Evite el contacto f\u00edsico como apretones de manos o abrazos.<\/li>\n<li>Qu\u00e9dese en casa si est\u00e1 enfermo, excepto para recibir atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/li>\n<li>Informe a su supervisor si tiene un familiar enfermo en su hogar con COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li>Siga las pol\u00edticas y procedimientos de su empleador en relaci\u00f3n con enfermedades, limpieza y desinfecci\u00f3n, reuniones de trabajo y viajes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Puede experimentar una variedad de emociones al regresar al trabajo, lo cual es normal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Participar en hacer frente proactivo, no reactivo&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/philip-fizur-psyd\"><u>Philip J. Fizur, PsyD, psic\u00f3logo cl\u00ednico de salud en Cooper University Health Care<\/u><\/a><u>.<\/u> &#8220;Algunos consejos pr\u00e1cticos para el autocuidado proactivo cuando regrese al trabajo: no trabaje durante los descansos, al\u00e9jese del escritorio para comer algo o salga a la calle. Aprenda y practique regularmente ejercicios de estiramiento y silla sentada: estos son buenos para la salud f\u00edsica y para ayudar a liberar la tensi\u00f3n y, por lo tanto, la ansiedad. Adem\u00e1s, practique t\u00e9cnicas de respiraci\u00f3n profunda durante todo el d\u00eda de trabajo a intervalos regulares (cuando llegue al trabajo por primera vez, durante el almuerzo, una hora antes del final del d\u00eda). \u00a1Si necesitas ayuda,<u><a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.va.gov\/app\/mindfulness-coach\"> hay una aplicaci\u00f3n para eso<\/a>!<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Algunos consejos pr\u00e1cticos y proactivos adicionales para el cuidado personal incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contin\u00fae cuid\u00e1ndote. Coma bien, descanse mucho y haga ejercicio, y pase tiempo con las personas m\u00e1s cercanas a usted.<\/li>\n<li>Busque ayuda si es necesario. Hablar de tus sentimientos con alguien de confianza es una forma saludable de procesar esta situaci\u00f3n en evoluci\u00f3n. Si sus sentimientos son demasiado dif\u00edciles de soportar, buscar ayuda es un signo de fortaleza, no de debilidad. Los problemas de salud mental, en general y en respuesta a un evento importante como la pandemia, son reales, diagnosticables y tratables.<\/li>\n<li>Si es padre o madre, es posible que le preocupe el bienestar de sus hijos cuando regrese al trabajo. Ayude a sus hijos a comprender y usar pr\u00e1cticas de higiene adecuadas, y perm\u00edtales hablar sobre sus sentimientos y lo que est\u00e1 sucediendo en cuanto al nuevo horario familiar. Esto le brinda la oportunidad de conversar y tranquilizarlos.<\/li>\n<li>Sus rutinas de trabajo ser\u00e1n diferentes a las que ten\u00edan antes de COVID, de la misma manera que sus rutinas de trabajo eran diferentes cuando comenz\u00f3 a trabajar desde su hogar o sus rutinas generales lo fueron si estaba suspendido. En lugar de juzgarse a s\u00ed mismo, recuerde que hizo ese ajuste antes y, por lo tanto, puede hacer este ajuste, incluso si a veces es dif\u00edcil. Perm\u00edtete tiempo y paciencia para que eso suceda.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>La flexibilidad, la comunicaci\u00f3n honesta y el cumplimiento de estas mejores pr\u00e1cticas ayudar\u00e1n a facilitar su transici\u00f3n a la nueva normalidad cuando regrese al trabajo.<\/p>\n<p>Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre la respuesta de Cooper a la pandemia de COVID-19, por favor visite <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/covid19\">cooperhealth.org\/covid19<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed Returning to work after a pandemic is new territory for all of us.
