SARS COV2 ( # COVID-19 ) is a public health emergency involving facilities, citizens and workers around the world. People entering in office buildings, stores, facilities, etc, must be safe and clean, free from infection risks which spreads alarmingly. It is crucial that we, as companies, respond adequately to the present threat with the DPOINT medical device and all useful and appropriate information against the disease.
COVID19 remains active for more than 16 hours in the environment, therefore its contagious potential is long term, being activated as soon as the characteristics of the environment are adequate, that is, when it is absorbed by the airways of the infected person, due to its size.
COVID 19 virus virions are spherical particles between 0.06 and 0.14 µ in diameter, an average of about 0.125 µ, measured under an electron microscope (Zhu et al., 2020). This means that the coronavirus particles are smaller than the PM2.5 particles, but larger than certain particles of dust and gas.
