Clorox campaigns for better home hygiene amidst a rise in local transmission 

Metro Manila will be placed under the stricter Alert Level 3 from January 3-15, 2022 amid the “exponential” spike of COVID-19 cases in the region. Cabinet Secretary and acting presidential spokesman Karlo Nograles cited the spike of the cases as well as the detection of three local cases of the highly infectious Omicron COVID-19 variant in the decision to upgrade the region to the stricter alert level.

“While regular handwashing and sanitizing are both important in preventing the spreading of the virus, keeping the surfaces we touch disinfected is just as important,” said Monique Gonzales, senior brand manager for Clorox Southeast Asia. “However, what we sometimes don’t realize is that we can be the ones who bring this virus into our homes so it is important to always disinfect the items in our homes we come in contact with.”

In order to be #BeSafe, we are advised to #StayHome, and we need to cooperate.  So, remote work has become the new normal for many employees during the Luzon Enhanced Community Quarantine.  At first, it may seem like a dream - no commute, no long lines at MRT, no heavy traffic, no distracting co-workers (hehe, although I miss the chitchats and tsismis with my colleagues), and think of all those chores you'll be able to sneak in!  But hey, our employers are still paying our salaries while we're at home, so it's just proper that we keep being productive, and keep meeting our work objectives.

Working from Home Ergonomically & Pain-Free

Because of the community quarantine, many of us are now working from home, and it's now the new norm! But most of us likely do not have the same workstation setup at home that is available in our typical offices.  At home, our workstation may be a laptop computer on a couch, bed, dining table or kitchen table. It may sound comfortable, but using an improper workspace setup for a long time can cause neck and back pains, sore wrists and fingers, posture problems which can increase the risk for ergonomic related injuries (or musculoskeletal disorders such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome).  So, it is important to set up your workstation as best you can to prevent injury regardless of where you work.
