“Working” and living in the time of the coronavirus

This of the coronavirus, is undoubtedly one of the most complex moments that many of us have ever experienced; to someone with older memories, they remember the war. Maybe, at least for now, it is going much better than then.

The situation

In this article, which is very different from our usual ones, we want to make ourselves useful by trying to give information and some indications on how best to deal with this delicate “suspended time”.

Everywhere, nowadays, we are asked to stay at home in order to minimize the contagion of Covid-19, and to only go out in the case of absolute necessity: work, shopping, proven health reasons, assistance to a family member not self-sufficient only for the time that is necessary. No form of aggregation is allowed, on this the decree (and subsequent orders of Regions and Municipalities which are even more restrictive) is very clear.

To always have the situation under control, in addition to the major national and local newspapers, to be read critically to get the most objective picture possible, we recommend the worldometers website which, in addition to giving very precise metrics on the coronavirus situation, offers data in real time on the progress of the entire planet, births included.

But what is coronavir?

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses and can cause various infections, from the common cold to more serious diseases such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). What is raging now, started in China and is putting not only Italy but the whole world in crisis, and is identified with the name SARS-CoV-2. It is a new strain of coronavirus that has never been identified in humans before.

This new coronavirus (whose scientific name is SARS-CoV-2), is an RNA virus (a polymeric molecule involved in various biological roles of encoding genes), covered by a capsid (envelope) and a peri-capsid crossed by glycoprotein structures that give it the typical “crown” appearance, therefore the name.

In humans, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is capable of causing the disease that we now call COVID-19.

 

How to defend yourself from COVID-19

There is a lot of news that is running on the internet and there is no shortage of fakes: from hot drinks, to vitamin C, passing through other “alternative remedies” of dubious nature. Let’s say immediately that drinking hot drinks or consuming vitamin C is certainly not harmful. It is behaviour that can only help us to improve our daily habits, especially by taking advantage of this moment to implement them.

The Ministry guidelines, which we report in this info-graphic, are based on principles of common sense and responsibility: in addition to hygiene, it is ESSENTIAL to stay at home and limit contacts to a minimum.

What resources for those who can work from home

The moment is undoubtedly unique and, as such, we must treat it so. For better or for worse, every crisis has hidden sides that only after a long time will we be able to understand and analyse with clarity.

However, there are situations that must be taken as opportunities: great opportunities can arise from a great crisis.

One of these is undoubtedly smart working which allows many categories of workers and professionals to be close to their customers and companies, without leaving their homes.

In Tamarri . we have always supported smart working, and we are using it precisely to protect our workers and customers. But what are the tools needed to be able to work from home?

First of all, a connection is needed, the one at home or on the mobile phone is perfect for most daily activities: answering emails, preparing documents, making video calls. You obviously need to have a computer or tablet to be able to work comfortably.

Accessing your computer in the office could be complicated, so we recommend having a copy of important documents also in the Cloud, and this applies to both your personal and business documents.

It is essential that companies work in this direction to make work “agile” … but really agile.

In this regard, we would like to inform you that Agid and the Ministry for Technological Innovation and Digitization, have launched the Digital Solidarity initiative, a collaboration between public and private, to support companies and citizens in facing the restrictions envisaged to contain the diffusion of the coronavirus.

In the link provided you will find many resources made available by public and private bodies to better face the possibility of working remotely.

We strongly recommend that you read and, together with IT professionals, identify the best strategy for implementing agile work plans, not only for this coronavirus contingency, but also for an increasingly smart future.

WHAT WE DO

In such a complex moment for everyone, Tamarri confirms the regular operational continuity and the usual promptness in replying to the requests of all our customers.

Unfortunately, we cannot exclude delays related to orders and deliveries; we are doing everything to ensure that the inconvenience is minimal.

The recent extraordinary and urgent measures activated by the Government (Prime Ministerial Decree issued on 11 March 2020) do not prohibit travel for proven work reasons, leaving goods and workers freedom of movement.

All operational and production phases are carried out scrupulously respecting the measures indicated by the Ministry of Health and WHO, ensuring maximum protection for all parties involved.

Even in this delicate moment we will continue to work to ensure the best possible service to all our customers, remaining available for any clarification through our contact methods:
