Strategies should be developed to limit the number of people working at or near sites where aerosolized particles may be generated, such as mail-sorting machinery and places where mailbags are unloaded or emptied. In addition, restrictions should be in place to limit the number of people including support staff and nonemployees entering areas where aerosolized particles may be generated. This recommendation applies to contractors, business visitors, and support staff.
