Who had even heard of ‘aerosols’ a year ago? It is now clear that these long-living infectious particles floating in the air are responsible for the majority of Corona infections. The renowned aerosol specialist Prof. Dr. Alfred Wiedensohler from the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) in Leipzig warns that “in cold and temperate climates, the indoor climate is usually very dry during the heating season. This could promote the spread of coronaviruses”. This is because at higher air humidity, the droplets grow faster and fall to the ground earlier, and can therefore be inhaled less by healthy people.
After a five week shutdown, Volkswagen are starting auto production again. In order to ensure the safety of their employees, VW are implementing stricter hygiene standards and strict distancing rules. In areas where distances of 1.5 metres are not possible, workers must wear a mouth and nose protector. The car manufacturer’s suppliers, who make components such as cockpits or cable harnesses, can also breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the restart. And here, just like with VW, our offer of packs of 50 Single Use Mouth and Nose Masks are running off the assembly line just in time!
The increasing number of corona patients worldwide and the equally sharp rise in the number of suspected cases is forcing hospitals every day to expand the capacity of their own corona isolation wards and ventilation capacities at full speed. As far as space and personnel permit, hospitals are therefore separating entire building sections for the isolated treatment of corona patients, although here too it is foreseeable that this number of beds will sooner or later be insufficient if the rate of infection continues to increase.
Supermarkets and pharmacies are among the few facilities still open in the new Corona era. Because the risks of infection literally coincide at these places – and are also constantly increasing with the growing number of infected people – special precautions should be taken there to protect employees and customers. Studies have shown that SARS CoV-2 viruses that have been coughing up can remain in the air for up to 3 hours.
