COVID-19 pandemic situation affects all activities of the world. It turns the world direction and changes the goals. Although many countries are locked down/ shut down in the early days of COVID-19, currently governments decide to continue their works with COVID-19 preventive measures. Social distance and wearing masks are mandatory to work for all according to them. The workplace is where many employees gather to perform their work. Unless developing the social distance at the workplace, it will become a breeding center of COVID virus and reduce the morale of employees to perform the work from their best.
