Hi Robert,<br>
<br>
At Delaware we ask the users to bring their personal face mask (they
have to wear it to enter the building anyway) to the gowning room
and cover it with a beard cover. This has worked well since we
re-opened in the middle of June; the face mask is meant to help with
the virus and the beard cover with the lab cleanliness. During
training both the trainer and the trainee also wear face shields
(the type we use for acid work at the fume hoods).<br>
<br>
Happy Holidays to Everyone!<br>
<br>
Iulian<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">When we
returned to work after the first lock-down, we asked
ourselves what to do regarding masks/face covers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Then I did a
very simple experiment to check by myself how effective is a
face-cover to contain the particles we generate during
normal respiration or talking. See attached summary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Today our
policy is: every user comes with his/her own mask and must
put the face cover over it. This “two layers” solution is
more than enough inside the clean room (plus as much
distancing is possible).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
