With regard to disease transmission, the current advice regarding two metres is difficult to apply in a school setting. Whilst most children appear to be relatively unharmed by coronavirus, they do carry it and this asymptomatic spread could be quite serious. This presents potential hazards to teaching staff, parents and of course the more vulnerable children who attend.

Air Sentry® with its existing hospital grade systems can offer to reduce the air side of this risk. It will be very difficult to prevent children catching and transmitting the disease in school setting but we can reduce the chance of education staff catching it. By maintaining good infection control, following the governments guidance, the main risk to teaching staff is from the third infection vector, air borne micro droplets or droplet nuclei. A classroom maintained as Ultra Clean™, where such procedures are followed, would have near zero risk to educational staff. With good cleaning regimes in place, this empowers a crucial part of our economic support structure to be operational.
