If you are "nonessential" and so you can go into the office . . . but you can't conduct your business [e.g. because there's an important piece of mail you have to pick up or your server goes down and you have to reset it] a single employee can go into the office . . . for those functions, provided that person does not have contact with any other individual . . . and then go right home again.
