Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious illness that can spread from person to person. It’s an unprecedented pandemic requiring extraordinary solidarity between all people, to urgently respond and support nations health.
Most health experts believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will increase the financial burdens on healthcare and commercial systems, to strengthen the infection prevention efforts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine disinfecting of frequently touched environmental surfaces including privacy curtains and encourages regular hand washing. Studies suggest that Coronavirus may survive on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days.
The anti-microbial properties of the ultra-hygienic and easy-to-clean Smart Glass add a hygienic and cost-effective alternative not only to hospitals’ traditional disposable curtains but also to residential and office drapes, without compromising anybody’s privacy.
PRIVACY CURTAINS: Contamination Facts
Privacy curtains can fly under the radar in terms of the role they play in the transmission of infectious agents.
Microorganisms can survive and persist in privacy curtains for extended periods despite attempts to disinfect them and can be transferred to the hands of healthcare personnel or office workers.
Reports showed that privacy curtains changed only if they are visibly soiled or – in case of the hospital- if the patient has a known antibiotic-resistant organism.
Smart Glass Technologies response to The COVID-19 Pandemic
Smart Glass converts healthcare facilities, residential and commercial space windows into easy-to-clean switchable privacy curtains.
Smart Glass Technologies believes that not only will be increased demand for disinfectants, but also most products within hospital facilities and commercial spaces will be reconsidered in terms of its environmental surface type and decontamination procedure.
Due to the complicated laundering requirements, labour-intensive, time-consuming and cost, fewer efforts are placed on decontaminating soft porous surfaces such as privacy curtains in most healthcare facilities and offices.
Smart Glass Technologies harnessed its extensive experience in privacy systems to cope with this pandemic impact and the increased concerns about the decontamination efficiency of porous surfaces.
