Technology developed in Heinsberg during the crisis shows how university and company canteens can protect themselves better from Corona: TAC V+ air purification

The loosening of the corona lockdown measures is a done deal! In almost all federal states, office canteens and university canteens, which have been closed up to now, are preparing to reopen soon. But how can employees and students be protected against infection in the canteen? This question is currently preoccupying not only the states that are imposing strict hygiene requirements, but also universities and companies. No businessperson or university wants to risk their own canteen becoming a Corona hotspot and the press coverage that comes with it!

What you really need to know: The 4-point check for ascertaining inferior mouth-nose masks without any protective effect

The corona pandemic has been accompanied by a worldwide rise in fraud and criminal activities associated with the trade in respiratory protection masks. The media have been reporting on a daily basis about the sale of confiscated protective masks – sometimes with fake certificates, in inferior quality and frequently manufactured under horrendously unhygienic conditions. In no way do these products involve masks offered for sale clandestinely on some shady black market. According to a report published in Den Haag by the European police authority Europol, criminals and organised gangs have rapidly adapted their methods. The fake masks have consequently found their way into normal commerce – even via official channels.

Coronavirus: Corona-Virus: A self-sewn makeshift mouth-and-nose protector – very beautiful, very colourful and very, very impractical

At first glance it looks ingeniously simple: just sew those missing everyday masks yourself, choose your own colour, choose your design – and off you go! At second glance, reality clouds an all too rosy view: Wash, wash, wash again and do it at 90°C. Or boil it in water on the stove for 5 minutes. Before the first use. And before each new use. Because otherwise every mask really becomes a veritable virus spinner. But daily washing uses a lot of electricity – and in the long run it will also become quite expensive.

Isn’t it dangerous for children? The Trotec Advisor has answers to these questions – and Trotec has the solutions for effective mouth-nose protection.

Coronavirus: VW is ramping up production even further, with mouth and nose protectors back on the production line

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.

Keep your eyes open when buying masks: In pharmacies, drug stores, department stores and petrol stations, breathing masks with dubious effects and origin are often offered unknowingly

Mouth and nose protection (MNS) and breathing masks with FFP 2 or FFP 3 filters (comparable to so-called KN95, N95 or DS2 respirators) are in greater demand than ever before due to the worldwide corona pandemic. Anyone currently searching for protective masks in the usual search engines is literally inundated with “immediately available breathing masks” and in the meantime even petrol station chains, DIY stores and of course pharmacies have masks on offer, so that you could get the impression that the supply bottleneck of the last few weeks and months has vanished into thin air.  But is this really the case?
