Art. 1 (Urgent measures to contain the infection in the Lombardy Region)

Employers shall observe the following prescriptions:

a) before accessing the workplace, personnel must be subjected to body temperature control by the employer or his delegate. This provision must also be implemented if, during the activity, the worker should manifest symptoms of respiratory infection from COVID – 19 (e.g. cough, cold, conjunctivitis). If this temperature is higher than 37.5°, access to or permanence in the workplace will not be allowed. People in this condition will be temporarily isolated and must not go to the Emergency Room and/or on-site infirmaries. The employer will promptly communicate this circumstance, through the competent doctor referred to in Legislative Decree no. 81/2008 and/or the personnel office to the territorially competent ATS which will provide the appropriate indications to which the person concerned must adhere.

b) It is strongly recommended that the temperature be also measured for customers/users before access. If this temperature is higher than 37.5°, access to the site will not be allowed and the person concerned will be informed of the need to contact their doctor.
