The whole world is following the progress of the novel corona virus, which has quickly developed into a global pandemic. Politicians are reacting with drastic demands and measures to curb the exponential growth of the pandemic. Companies that are able to shift their activities to the digital world are increasingly resorting to the most important tool currently available, which is the home office.
Here you can find out how home working works best and what you should be aware of. We also face the challenge of working from home to keep the Covid 19 sickness rate as low as possible - because the global goal is to "flatten the curve". For this reason we will be taking you through the tools that can be used to make working from home productive.
We provide you with tools that enable ergonomic working, link devices together, simplify video conferencing, and support your workflow. We will also reveal important rules of conduct to help you make the move into the home office a success.
With this equipment, you create the basis
The home office basically is a computer workstation set up by the employer in the private sphere of the employees. A common means of communication in the home office include, for example, PC, notebook or smartphone. However, it is even better if you also have a height-adjustable table or, alternatively, table attachments. These help to protect you from remaining in a seated position for too long - which happens too quickly when we concentrate on the tasks in the new working environment. Ideally, the desk should be adjustable in height between 68 and 76 cm. Our DIGITUS® desk frames are even continuously adjustable from 62 to 128 cm.

With our cable management boxes, you can stow away power supply units, plugs and cables, including socket strips, in no time at all. In addition to the study and living area, the cable storage box can also be used in the kitchen, dining room, children's room or office to keep cables tidy and dust-free.

- Cleaning of the devices: Especially on our mobile phones we carry many health-endangering pathogens with us and therefore come into contact with them again and again when using our devices. With these cleaning products you can ensure a clean working environment:
- Wash your hands regularly: Pay particular attention to thorough hand washing (20 to 30 seconds is recommended) when preparing food, before eating and after other situations such as sneezing, blowing your nose and going to the toilet.
- Don't touch your face: Despite regular hand washing, it is recommended to avoid contact with mucous membranes in the mouth, nose and eyes, as these are very susceptible to infection. Practicing at home helps to keep it outside your own four walls - because, as so often, it is a matter of habit.
- Airing: Provide fresh air regularly, for example by airing the room in a bumpy way. This ensures a rapid exchange of oxygen and reduces the risk of mould growth, which can have a negative effect on your immune system. And especially in times of corona, a good immune system is essential.
- Basic hygiene in the household: The usual house cleaning with common cleaning agents creates a good basis to protect yourself and other people living in the household from germs. On some surfaces with which we frequently come into contact, such as door handles or window handles, sars-CoV-2 viruses can survive up to 6 days, according to the Robert Koch Institute. It is therefore advisable to disinfect them thoroughly more often.
