As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage, our day-to-day lives are moving ahead. In-person school is starting, people are coming back to the office, and medical facilities are juggling COVID-19 cases with routine activities. As we figure out our new normal, we need to do the best we can to prepare for more in-person interactions by making these environments as safe and comfortable as possible.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPE is equipment worn to minimize exposure to illnesses. Not only should most schools, businesses and medical facilities have PPE available, but it also needs to be easily accessible and available in multiple locations. Here are some examples:

• Face Masks
• Face Shields
• Face Mask Dispensers
• Infection Prevention Organizers
• PPE Dispensers – Mobile and Stationary
• Hand Sanitizer Dispensers

Furniture

There are some pieces of furniture that can support safety measures and help comfort those that might not feel well. Here are some examples:

• Recovery Couches
• Privacy Screens
• Sneezeguards/Partitions/Shields
• Trash Cans – separate regular trash from biohazard trash, touchless/step-on

Medical Equipment

There are a few pieces of medical equipment that can be used in schools, offices, and medical facilities that can help to screen people, monitor illnesses, and store important items. Here are some examples:

• Thermometers
  • Non-Contact
  • Single Use
  • Temporal
• Medical Grade Refrigerators/Freezers – store vaccines and other pharmaceuticals
• Pulse Oximeters – monitor blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)
• IV Poles

This is a partial list of important items to have on hand as more people interact in close proximity. For more hi-tech items, you might also consider air purifiers, UVC disinfection devices (quickly disinfect your most handled items including mobile phones, tablets, and computer keyboards) and anti-microbial protectors (for remote controls, screens, and computer keyboards).
