Claim of Fact (Millenial in the New Normal)
No ‘beso-beso’
1. There will be no more parties or reunions. A gathering of more than 10 persons will be too big
for comfort and safety.
2. The face mask will be an essential part of our protective gear. At work, while shopping or
even at home, it should be worn all the time.
3. Handshakes, beso-beso and hugs for greetings will be a thing of the past. There will be new
ways of showing affection.
4. Intimacy between couples may require some “safety adjustments,” too.
5. Binge shopping will be a crime. It will be back-to-basics shopping, only what we really need.
6. Dining out will have to be done only occasionally. Restaurants will have to rearrange their
tables to maintain safe distances among diners.
7. Home cooking and dining will be the norm. Unfortunately, chatting while eating will have to be
minimized, and the prescribed distance will have to be observed, too. So, for those with big
families and/or small tables, dining may be done in batches.
8. Workplace protocols will have to be revised to conform with safety precautions on social
distancing, hygienic measures with alcohol at the entrance, and temperature screening before
entering the building.
9. High-risk individuals like seniors (65 years and older), long-standing diabetics, hypertensives,
heavy smokers and those with established cardiovascular diseases, chronic lung diseases,
bronchial asthma, chronic kidney disease and other serious medical conditions should work
from home, or file a modified sabbatical, or avail themselves of early retirement. The high-risk
group has a death rate of 8-14 percent should they catch COVID-19.
Those younger than 60 and have no risk factors have one in 80-100 chances of dying should
they get COVID-19; those younger than 50 have a risk of one in 330, and for those below 40,
it’s around 3-5 in 10,000.
10. Face-to-face conferences and annual conventions of big professional organizations will
have to be deferred indefinitely. Teleconferences, webinars and podcasts should be able to fill
in the learning gap.
11. Creative, safer and more cost-effective ways to provide mass transportation will have to be
designed by the government. This may have to be modified in relation to work shifts resorted to
by big companies and factories, so as to disperse or also “flatten” the peak hours of mass
transport.
12. Looking forward to the next holiday travel? Enjoying the plants, birds and bees in your
garden, or a leisurely walk in the park, may release the same feel-good hormones (dopamine
and oxytocin) as travel for leisure does. It’s a simple mindset trick. You just have to accept it as
the new reality. INQ
Claim of Policy (Personal Hygiene)
All workplace environments need to be hygienic and safe for both employees and visitors. This
applies to all, not just workplaces involved in handling food and personal products.
A solid workplace hygiene policy is the best way to ensure employees maintain a clean

Each workplace will require different hygiene requirements. Certain tasks, or industries may
also create risks which require additional protection than those discussed below. However,
below are some key areas all workplaces should consider for their workplace hygiene policy.
