According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), installing a barrier or sneeze guard is a safety measure that employers can take to protect employees and customers during the pandemic. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness so these barriers are effective in blocking the spread or transmission of the virus. To slow the spread of COVID-19, Glass Inc. is adapting its glass and aluminum railings to manufacture sneeze guard barriers to help government agencies and businesses in the community.
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
COVID-19 is spread between people that are in close contact with one another. The CDC states that close contact is less than six feet. The virus also spreads from respiratory viral droplets and mucus from coughing, sneezing, or speaking. Once infected by the virus, symptoms include shortness of breath, fever, and coughing. Additionally, studies also indicate that the virus can be spread from asymptomatic individuals. This means that they do not show any symptoms. The CDC also indicates that there is a chance that the virus is transmitted by touching a surface where COVID-19 is present and then touching one’s eyes, mouth, or nose. Individuals with serious health conditions and older people are thought to be at the highest risk for serious complications from the virus.
SNEEZE GUARD BARRIER
Some states have strict quarantines in place while others are slowly reopening. For states that are reopening, the CDC has published guidance on its website to help businesses plan, prepare, and respond if they are considering reopening. The guidance includes a workplace decision tool, instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the workplace, and guidance for resuming operations. One of the recommendations within the guidance is to place a sneeze guard or barrier between customers and employees.
If you have been to a retail store or gas station during the pandemic, there is a good chance that you have seen sneeze guard barriers when checking out. In some cases, businesses are hanging plexiglass between the cashier and the customer. However, this solution is flimsy and looks out of place. To help protect businesses and customers Glass Inc. is now making secure and stylish barriers from their glass and aluminum railings. Unlike a hanging sheet of plexiglass, Glass Inc. barriers are custom made and can be professionally installed quickly. There are a variety of railing options and glass treatments that can be applied. Glass Inc. barriers can be any height or width and top rails are not necessary. Security options are also available that can make the glass shatter-resistant. These sneeze guards are ideal for cash register stations, reservation desks, municipal buildings, airports, food stands, stadiums, banks, and more.
While the pandemic has drastically altered the way we live, companies like Glass Inc. are adapting products and services to help people continue their day-to-day activities while staying safe. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, Glass Inc. is creating custom sneeze guard barriers with its custom-made glass and aluminum railing systems. These sneeze guards are excellent dividers that will shield people from the spread of the respiratory virus. If you are interested in having them installed at your business, contact us today.
