Leave at gate, go digital: Prescribed for gated communities

New Delhi: Not allowing delivery agents to enter, going digital with payments, accommodating vendors inside premises and monitor entries of residents are among the to-do things for gated communities in the unlock phase.

The Gated Community Guide to Unlocking Down compiled by MyGate list the measures that residential societies should follow for safety from the threat of COVID-19.

Societies are advised to go digital and ensure all communication and society payments are made digitally to minimise interaction.

In addition, residents have been asked to limit interactions. "If your daily help has resumed work, ensure that you take all necessary precautions. Furthermore, limit the number of visitors.

They should accommodate vendors and have a dedicated place for vendors inside the society, so that residents do not have to leave their home to get essentials.

As residents have to declare that they have returned from another state or another part of the state, make sure that they follow home quarantine rules, is the prescription. Also notify staff and neighbours when returnees are required to quarantine so that necessary support may be provided.

The premises should also encourage leave at gate as delivery agents needn't enter and encourage residents to opt for "Leave at Gate" on the app.

It is also suggested to provide the guards with infrared thermometers and ensure that every visitor's temperature is checked. Masks to be made mandatory and societies should ensure that residents, staff and any visitors are all wearing masks properly.

They are also asked to keep alcohol-based sanitisers at the main gate for anyone entering the society to apply, including residents. (IANS)
