The education system & COVID19
Two years have passed, and COVID-19 is still disrupting the world; according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), COVID-19 is here to stay. COVID-19 is not going anywhere; the world is forced to adjust to the non-ending restrictions that governments are imposing and to the new life. From the start of the pandemic, kindergartens, schools, and universities have been hit hard. The education sector closed for months, not allowing students to receive the education they needed. The European Union and big agencies such as UNICEF, OCED, were concerned. They realized that students couldn’t stand to lose months or years of education. After months of online schooling, students and teachers resumed “normal” face-to-face classes. After the back-to-school announcement, teachers, parents, and kids were apprehensive about getting infected with SARS-COVID-19 and its emerging variants. After various complaints, schools worldwide were pressured to find how students, teachers, and parents felt safe returning to classes. After multiple complaints of worried parents and teachers, schools discovered a way to keep their staff and students secure from COVID-19 with air purifiers. Schools found that air purifiers would be essential after the WHO (World Health Organization) and governments worldwide announced that mandatory masks, complete vaccination, and good ventilation reduce the chance of getting infected.
What governments require air purifiers in schools?
Governments around the world are creating a budget to fund air purifiers to public schools in the hope of preventing the massive spread of COVID-19. Germany, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, and Spain were the first to allocate funds to improve indoor air quality in schools. In 2021 Ireland announced that the government will provide additional funding to fund the purchase or rental of HEPA filters at schools. Scotland was another country that purchases air purifiers for their schools after debating their outdoor learning strategy and how it will work in the Scottish winters. Ministers urge the Scottish Fund to put two air filters in every classroom in the country to avoid the spread of covid.
How do AIR8 purifiers lower the risk of getting infected by COVID-19?
According to researchers at hospitals, air purifiers can mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Experts state that air purifiers equipped with suitable filters and strong enough can help with the risk of getting infected. AIR8 has a variety of air purifiers that were built with highest technology that is on the market. The company offers high-tech air purifiers with HEPA filters (H13 and H14) that trap 99.95% of 0.1 micron particles. The abbreviation HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Airborne Air. HEPA is the efficiency standard for air filters used in air purification systems and devices designed to remove harmful air pollutants effectively. It is called a high-efficiency filter because it can capture and remove 99.97% of small nanoparticles from the air, including viruses, bacteria, allergies, and pollutants. The effectiveness of air purifiers is the reason why governments all over the world require schools to be equipped with this technology. In addition to reducing the spread of COVID-19 in schools, AIR8 air purifiers can improve the indoor air quality of classrooms. The additional benefits that an AIR8 air purifier offers are: filtering out allergens, removing bad odor, eliminating toxic chemicals, and improving indoor air pollution.
