The emergence of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) has threaten individuals, organisations and Government Agencies across the world and grounded almost everything to a halt. COVID-19 continues to spread rapidly asymmetrically around the world after it was first observed in Wuhan, China. Economies are crashing and businesses are at the verge of collapse. Individuals or employees are working from home in the form of teleworking others too have stopped working. Despite this challenge caused by this pandemic, Cyber Criminals (Social Engineers) are targeting unsuspecting individuals and organisations to gain access to their sensitive information through the activities of Social Engineering. In this paper, we present hygienic protocols that can help address the dangers of cybercrimes in the era of COVID-19. The education protocol, training protocol and policy protocols are outlined. The paper also revealed some defects that needs to be addressed when using VPN and desktop sharing. Our paper also reviewed the NIST standards on Teleworking and the Information Technology Lab (ITL, 2020) guidelines.
