Protecting Our Healthcare Workers

/

As the Coronavirus pandemic intensifies, local GP practices have become a frontline in the struggle to stop the infection spreading.  As we now know, the Coronavirus has a 14 day incubation period, during which a patient can unknowingly spread the infection without showing any symptoms.

With the healthcare system overstretched, and low stocks of personal protective equipment, it is essential to prevent healthcare workers from becoming infected.  According to recent studies, a sneeze can carry viruses up to 8 metres.

We were asked us to design a sneeze screen to protect reception staff at a busy doctor’s clinic in London.  Made from robust off the shelf parts, the screen was designed and installed in under a week.
