Trotec privacy screens protect a person’s individual privacy when accommodating and taking care of corona patients in field hospitals, hospitals and emergency centres
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
All over the world, hospitals and clinics are preparing for an increasing number of patients who are infected with the novel coronavirus and require inpatient treatment and intensive care. Entire building tracts are thus cleared, for example, and designated as covid isolation stations with separate admission areas in order to separate the flows of patients coming in. However, many hospitals are already working at maximum capacity now so that gymnasiums, underground car parks, event locations, barracks and sometimes even entire sport stadiums are summarily converted into field hospitals.
Ventilation systems in buildings make sufficient humidification difficult
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Many lives could be saved each year by reducing infection with the flu virus or with the new corona virus, SARS-CoV-2. For example, hospitals, public utilities and even the facilities management of large office blocks could maintain a room air humidity in the scientifically recommended range of 40 to 60%. In modern building complexes, you can usually not even open the windows to let fresh and therefore humid air in.
Coronavirus: Humidifiers now important in summer too!

Can spring and warm summer temperatures stop the virus’ spread? Meteorological experts are predicting new record heat for summer 2020. This is based on the numbers coming from the British “Met Office” weather service. Accordingly, extreme heat is to dominate the year. Forecasts say that constant temperatures over 40 degrees are expected across Europe in summer. This forecast should have drops of sweat running down the faces of many by now. A new drought would pose a serious problem for the agricultural and forestry sectors. But does the heat have an advantage in the fight against the coronavirus (Covid-19)?
Coronavirus: The TAC 6500 Professional air purifier – removes viruses with high-performance filters from rooms of 54 m² or 135 m³
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
So-called ‘clean rooms’ such as the operating theatres of a clinic are particularly hygiene-sensitive areas. In order to effectively limit the risk of infection there, the virus content in the room air should be reduced to a minimum, ideally to zero. The TAC 6500 professional air purifier from Trotec effectively masters this challenge: It is designed for areas of 54 m² or 135 m³ and equipped with an H14 filter for clean rooms of classes ISO 4 and ISO 3 – and thus separates 99.995 % of all particles in the air down to a size of 0.1 to 0.2 micrometres.

The TAC 5000 professional air purifier from Trotec effectively masters this challenge: It is designed for areas of 44 m² or 110 m³ and equipped with an H14 filter for clean rooms of classes ISO 4 and ISO 3 – and thus separates 99.995 % of all particles in the air down to a size of 0.1 to 0.2 micrometres.
Yale University proves: insufficient humidity increases viral infection
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Not only the coronavirus but influenza viruses cause serious respiratory diseases as well – and result in at least half a million deaths worldwide annually. A new study by America’s Yale University proves a connection between low humidity and the spread of influenza viruses. The study conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health substantiates a cause-effect relationship between humidity and the infectivity of coughed-up viruses – and everything seems to suggest that the same applies to the coronavirus as well.
Treatment and shielding tent in makeshift hospitals as well as mobile test stations for suspected corona cases, for patient care and to relieve doctors, authorities and hospitals
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
In the fight against the spread of the coronavirus SARS CoV-2, communities and authorities worldwide are faced with the challenge of testing the daily increasing number of suspected cases, reducing the still high risk of infection within the community and effectively breaking the infection chains. This mammoth task is made more difficult by the fact that hospitals and doctors’ surgeries in many places are working to capacity – and the necessary structures and materials for mobile corona test stations and makeshift hospitals are simply not available. Even the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) and the German Armed Forces refuse requests for support because, for example, German Armed Forces hospitals are also preparing for the increase in patient care.
