From SARS CoV-1 2003 to SARS CoV-2 2019 Healthcare Leadership Strategy for a Better Future
Practice Safe Control with Airborne Particles
• Filtration - Particles in the air move through a filter which essentially removes the particles from the air stream • Dilution - The more outdoor (fresh) air that is being blown through the building, the cleaner the air inside will be • Gooseneck Faucets - This faucet type has a plain end and a laminar flow controller which minimizes splashing » Remove aerators or replace fixtures • A person “recovered” from COVID-19 still has the ability to generate SARS - CoC-2 aerosols via toilet flushing for weeks after testing negative via a respiratory tract test » Install toilet lids » Provide training materials on importance of flushing only when lid is down • Ultraviolet Light & Air Particle Ionization - Bacteria and mold spores are killed off with the use of ultraviolet light or ionizing air particles » Consider using portable units in patient treatment and sleeping areas • Restroom Exhaust - to remove aerosol type containments, increase restroom exhaust levels JPT Architects, P.C.
