Got an e-mail from $EMPLOYER saying that the agency's "high cleaning standards" should be enough to prevent hard surface contamination from spreading #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV, and therefore there is no need for employees to bring chlorine bleach or similar disinfectants to work. Judging by the overcrowding and disorder that characterizes field offices and the work quality of con…
