Close all call centres due to COVID-19 immediately.
Close all call centres until further notice due to COVID-19.
By going to work it is majorly increasing the risk of getting/passing on covid-19 as the work place(s) are busy every day and most have around 1000 employees and not enough space to effectively reduce the spread of covid-19. For staffs health and wellbeing it would be more beneficial to close call centres until it is safe to reopen them to effectively combat covid-19 by not leaving the house and being in contact with so many people.
