Thousands of saliva droplets in varying size are expelled into the air while talking or sneezing. Large droplets – which cough and sneeze guards, visors and mouth-nose masks are meant to protect against in times of the coronavirus. But even the smallest microparticles too, the so-called aerosols. Word has got around! The risk of infection by coronavirus is “also” in the air – a remedy from Heinsberg is coming our way! NTV reports on the TAC V+ aerosol air purifier from Trotec

It is no longer an open secret: In addition to droplet and smear infection, the coronavirus also spreads via aerosols in room and breathing air. Until a few weeks ago, this warning was primarily being spread by foreign authorities such as the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) or numerous scientific studies – but it is now increasingly finding its way into the German media landscape.
Corona risk: Is flying safer than dining out at a restaurant? We are convinced we have found the perfect solution to this question: Tables don’t need to remain empty!

Virologists and scientists are in agreement: Aerosols (tiny respiratory droplets) that linger in the air are one of the key reasons behind the rapid spread of coronavirus. Only about 10 per cent of coronavirus infections are transmitted via direct contact or smear infections. Half of all infections can be attributed to the inhalation of infectious aerosols that float invisibly in the air in closed rooms. This is the reason restaurants are often touted as potential hotspots, as places where large groups of people gather in a small amount of space. In order to prevent infection, a minimum distance of 2 metres needs to be maintained or tables kept empty.
Allergy sufferers are at a high risk of becoming infected with the coronavirus – air purifiers and air humidifiers from Trotec help reduce this risk

Why is it that, of all people, those who suffer from allergies in the summer are at an increased risk of becoming infected with the coronavirus? This is due to the fact that the mucous membranes in the upper respiratory system of allergy sufferers swell when they become irritated by allergens. This makes them more permeable to viruses, including the coronavirus. Anyone who has come to the conclusion that it is best to avoid irritation caused by allergens is correct – and should take a closer look at our AirgoClean 10 E Air purifier with HEPA filter and our B and B-E series humidifiers.

Notebooksbilliger.de opening its Munich store with innovative corona protection from Trotec: TAC V+
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
It’s been in the air for a while! ´The Robert Koch Institute has now also confirmed that the coronavirus spreads via the air in a room[1]. In order to reduce this risk of infection, PC retailer, Notebooksbilliger.de, is using more stringent coronavirus protection measures in its reopened store in Munich, even measures that go beyond the legal requirements. Trotec’s new TAC V+ high-frequency air purifier is designed to protect customers from airborne infection by filtering infectious aerosols (tiny saliva particles) out of the air in the room. According to scientists and virologists, aerosols are one of the main sources of infection for the coronavirus. If, on the other hand, the air in the room is permanently and effectively “cleaned”, in short time intervals, the risk of infection via aerosols released when speaking or coughing is significantly reduced.

The Heinsberg district continues to keep the world in suspense!

In order to prevent a further spread in the district, the public health department is checking people that may have been in contact with those infected and all 400 employees are in quarantine.

After the holiday resort of Ischgl hit the headlines as a hot spot after a bar supposedly played a major role in spreading the virus throughout Europe, two mail distribution centres have now also been closed. In the Hagenbrunn distribution centre near Vienna, 68 of the 650 employees tested positive for the corona. At the Inzersdorf distribution centre, 70 employees are currently infected. According to the newspaper Krone.at, a temporary employment agency is said to have brought infected employees to the distribution centres, but it has not yet been conclusively determined whether infected employees also delivered parcels and letters.
