Prior to this modern pandemic, we did not always consider the risk around our common everyday activities. Unfortunately, this has completely changed with COVID-19. In our day-to-day lives, we encounter many public environments and will need to utilize common high-touch surfaces, including doors, elevator buttons, ATMs, point-of-sale devices, and more. Our need to utilize these environments increases our exposure to germs. Regardless of the risks, we must continue to go about our daily routines, but there are many ways to mitigate our risks.
At schools, hundreds of people will utilize entryways for access, several times a day. All these people touching a single set of doors make for a disconcerting amount of possible exposure to germs and bacteria. By utilizing touchless sensors for gesture-activated intercom calling, schools can reduce the risk of exposure to and the transfer of germs. In addition, this system ensures only approved individuals have access while limiting unnecessary contact.
At coffee shops, grocery stores, and other retail environments, we will encounter situations where germs can be transferred. To protect customers and employees alike, many businesses are installing glass partitions to protect everyone. While these partitions increase safety, they can reduce the ability to communicate easily, which is where a security ticket window intercom from Aiphone can help. This intercom provides crisp audio communication and avoids muffled sounds caused by glass partitions. Systems like this ensure all individuals are protected from exposure, while still being able to do their shopping and errands.
At the doctor’s office, it’s important that medical staff carefully monitor every patient that comes in for care. Facilities are utilizing systems like contactless intercom, thermal cameras, and glass partitions. These systems make it easier for staff to verify PPE, confirm patient body temperatures, and monitor more carefully who is allowed access. Moreover, these systems allow staff to communicate effectively, and provide the best care, all while remaining at a distance.
At home, deliveries are becoming a more common way of life. Whether you are receiving a delivery from the pizza joint down the street, a package from a retail company, or expecting a visitor, answering the door and screening deliveries becomes much safer and easier with intercom and mobile app communication.
No matter what the day brings, Aiphone intercoms, bring an added layer of protection to every moment. As life changes and we all continue to adapt to this new paradigm with COVID-19, we don’t have to sacrifice safety for connection. By using the tools and technology available, we can all enjoy the freedom to connect, while maintaining our quality of life!
