Do you want to prevent the spread of coronavirus? Try using digital signs to create awareness.
With countless deaths and new cases being reported every minute, coronavirus has convinced many governments to declare a state of lockdown. With numbers rising quickly, the government and the people are fearful and uncertain as to where the situation is heading. In these desperate times, it is the responsibility of the people in charge to reach out to the masses and create awareness about this pandemic. One of the best ways to create awareness about this pandemic is by using digital signs. In this article, we shall discuss how digital signs can be used to create awareness about Coronavirus and ways of preventing it from spreading.
So, let’s begin.
Awareness and Education
We are mostly attracted to vibrant visuals. To create awareness about coronavirus, digital screens can be installed in public settings so that a maximum number of people can see the message on them. The messages on these digital screens should convey information about what Coronavirus is and how it spreads. These digital signs must also signify the increasing number of victims all around the world. The messages should be continuously updated using content management systems to keep the viewers engaged. Informational signs about Coronavirus should also be placed in hospitals, malls, supermarkets, and offices.
Prevention Tips
Up until now, we have discussed how people can be educated about Coronavirus using digital signage. In the upcoming paragraphs, we will discuss how digital signs can be used to prevent Coronavirus.
Washing Your Hands
You can use digital signs to teach people about the importance of washing their hands, especially during this time. After all, according to the CDC, one of the ways to prevent coronavirus is to wash your hands and keep them clean.
Signs that speak about hygiene and keeping your hands clean must be placed right outside the restrooms, with a hand sanitizer screwed to the wall right below or beside them.
Covering Your Face
If you have read up on Coronavirus, you can understand that it spreads primarily from respiratory droplets that are released via coughing and sneezing. Therefore, it is better to keep your face covered, every time you enter a public setting. You should use surgical masks, which are readily available at pharmaceutical stores.
In order to make sure everyone understands the importance of wearing masks, digital signs should be placed in public spaces, like grocery stores or even outside offices, and highlight the benefits of wearing a mask.
Social Distancing
Besides maintaining good physical hygiene and covering your faces, maintaining social distance is also essential for the prevention of coronavirus. Places that are often frequented by people can make use of digital signs to tell people where to stand and the distance that they need to maintain. For instance, there are certain areas in offices that are frequented by numerous people throughout the day. These areas include the lobby, conference halls, and dining areas. Outside such areas, screens should be placed, highlighting the maximum number of people who can occupy a space within a particular timeframe. Restaurants and grocery stores can also use these signs to prevent the spread of the virus.
