MANAGING COVID19 IN SCHOOLS W


e are going to great lengths to ensure that hospitals, shops, and essential businesses are clean and as germ-


free as possible.


BUT WHAT ABOUT SCHOOLS? Whether primary or secondary schools, colleges or universities – there is responsibility for the well being of students, teachers and visitors while on school property. The focus has been on adding social distancing markers,


rearranging desks and disinfecting. Social distancing, wearing a facemask, and thoroughly cleaning are critical right now.


BUT IS IT ENOUGH? Various new studies show that airborne transmission is also a risk. Even before Covid-19, we knew that poor indoor air quality in schools


can hamper student health. Pollutants such as moulds, dust, and fumes can negatively impact a student’s wellness, ability to concentrate, and classroom performance. If healthy indoor air quality is desired, and school administrators truly


wish to protect their populace, more than facial protection, cleaning, and social distancing will be necessary. The National Institutes of Health specifies “air purifiers as having the


potential to further reduce exposure to virus-laden aerosols and serve as a useful supplement to other protective procedures.”


THE SOLUTION The Winix Zero Pro with plasma-wave technology kills 99.9% of viruses, bacteria and particulate matter and will provide a safe, clean, virus-free environment for your students, teachers and visitors.

“pandemic fatigue”: “It’s difficult when you think you have a light at the other end of the tunnel to look forward to, and then all of a sudden you realise it’s a train.”
