Harvest workers should have access to clean sanitation facilities
Develop a clean-up plan to manage release of bodily fluids resulting from vomiting or diarrhea as they are possible sources of virus contamination
Residual organic matter such as rejected fruits, cut parts of the harvest, etc., generated from cleaning and processing activities can become a source of contamination
Trash and waste management is a critical component of clean and hygienic environment.
It is good hygienic practice to avoid smoking, eating, chewing or drinking during harvesting operations
After harvest, fruits should be packed and processed under hygienic conditions
Management may provide worker housing, if so, these accommodations should ensure hygienic living conditions
Precluding sick employees from coming to work prevents the potential for food and surface contamination
