As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, schools have been facing significant challenges with reopening safely. Schools need to take steps to lower the risk of COVID-19 exposure, especially in areas that have had high case numbers. These steps help protect both students, staff and faculty from the spread of this virus.

School Reopening Procedures and Challenges

Common procedures that some schools have decided to adopt in order to reopen include taking temperatures at building entry points to check for fevers, social distancing, wearing masks, and having plenty of hand sanitizer for students, staff, and faculty to use. Implementing these procedures has been difficult for some schools to coordinate due to various issues, such as a large student body, which can make temperature screenings time-consuming.

School Safety Solutions During the Pandemic

G.A.I. Exhibits recently supplied a local school in Miramar, Florida with two SANOS touchless infrared thermometer and hand sanitizer units. These all-in-one units provide a way for schools to screen students, teachers, and staff for fevers at entry points. The school plans on placing one in the front office for visitors and the other in the back for staff, and faculty. These placements help the school provide a safe environment for everyone inside the building.

If faculty and/or staff who have an elevated temperature will be isolated and then reassessed to determine if they can remain at school. Having these all-in-one units available gives the school a convenient way to determine if faculty or visitors have a fever. These units provide rapid temperature readings, making them ideal for use at high-traffic entry points. Their portable, lightweight design allows for easy movement to different locations within the building if needed.

The SANOS thermometer and hand sanitizer units offer a way to monitor faculty and visitors from a safe distance, which helps lower the risk of infection. These units include an infrared thermometer that takes temperatures without any physical contact required, adding another level of safety. With two of these units in place, Schools will be able to keep Faculty and visitors safe with fast and convenient temperature screenings and a steady supply of hand sanitizer to reduce the spread of germs.
