The return to normality with respect to the coronavirus epidemic will take place “perhaps, in 2022-2023”. This is the opinion of the president of the French Scientific Council Jean-François Delfraissy. “We will win Covid, but not immediately,” said the scholar. Unfortunately, a new variant appears likely to arrive next winter. We are faced with a virus that possesses an abnormal capacity for mutation. And to counter this new wave does not see miraculous solutions. “In a context of very wide contaminations, with a much more infectious variant of the previous ones – says Delfraissy – it is appropriate to return to social distancing, as well as to hand washing and the use of masks, even outdoors in the presence of many people .
For its part, the WHO, impressed by counting almost 2 million infections in a single week, warns that vaccines do not replace the need for other precautions. In fact, amid restrictions, lockdowns and measures for the unvaccinated, governments try to contain the spread of the disease. In Germany for example, the Robert Koch Institute calls for major events to be canceled or banned (where possible) and for all other non-essential contacts to be reduced. In Italy, new regulations on the use of public transport, both short and long-distance, have recently been enacted.
The danger naturally also involves workplaces, where smart working has partially managed to stem the leaks. Offices are the places where, due to their very nature, the virus has an easy time jumping from one person to another. Hence the need to limit contacts between colleagues as much as possible, even in simple routine operations such as printing a document. To comply with the new regulations in the workplace, the Balanced Deployment of Brother is the ideal solution. A4 format printing devices can be placed in the immediate vicinity of the user. Doing so reduces interactions between employees and avoids gatherings, as well as maximizing productivity and optimizing space thanks to its compact size. And when you work remotely? For this there are compact, fast and easy-to-use printers, with full connectivity (USB, WiFi, wired network) and with print or scan apps for mobile devices.
Advanced security for documents even outside the office. The printers Brother A4, compact and versatile, they have the same functionality as an A3 printer but can be placed on a cabinet next to the desk or stand alone, limiting movement within the company. With a balanced distribution of the machine park, the new health regulations are respected correctly, even in this case without queues or gatherings to collect the document. Finally, with label printers Brother it is possible to create all the useful signs to communicate the new safety regulations in the workplace to employees, collaborators and customers, highlighting them in a clear and orderly way.
In other words, it is possible to organize the routes inside the office guaranteeing the safety distance and compliance with anti-Covid conduct. The P-touch, QL and VC-500 labeling devices, combined with the free “P-touch Editor” software and the iPrint & Label application, allow you to create personalized signage, even adding your company logo. There is also the opportunity to print QR-Code labels to consult the menu or lists directly from a smartphone and to transmit hygiene practices to all collaborators and customers in the common areas as well as at the entrance to the premises, on doors, on windows and in areas where customers have to wait their turn.
