For starters, the labels will abide to new regulations, eg: reduced hours, split shifts, etc. to ensure social distancing. The employees will have their temperature tested on arrival and will be provided with PPE gear and sanitizers for their shifts. 

Prada has also pledged to carry out serological testing, or antibody testing, on all employees once a month on the premises. The expenses of the same will be borne by the label itself and those testing positive will also receive a viral test conducted on the premises.
