Dear Residents,
Considering the escalation in situation that is imminent regarding COVID-19 and in line with directions from Police Department, we are extending the level of social distancing to SoJ premises. Many residents have already asked their maids not to come however this is insufficient considering:
1. Maids help in multiple homes besides coming in contact with their own families and other maids which could make them prone to infection and also a carrier in transferring the virus.
2. They regularly enter houses, wash utensils, cook food and come in close contact with family members allowing easy transfer of infection both ways.
3. While it cannot be generalised however it is at times seem that due to their lack of awareness, they may not be taking adequate precautions to save themselves or families they serve.
4. Maids helping out the elderly or young children may also increase the risk further.
In line with safety directives, the society is henceforth implementing an entry ban on house maids starting 24-March until further notice.
Please get in touch with MCs if you need any further clarity on this.
Thank you all for your co-operation. Stay safe and stay healthy.
SOJ MC
