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.

With the growing number of corona patients, the need for mobile isolation wards and hygienically optimal treatment areas in hospitals and emergency facilities is increasing

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.

Trotec privacy screens protect a person’s individual privacy when accommodating and taking care of corona patients in field hospitals, hospitals and emergency centres

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

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.
