Since the COVID-19 pandemic spread, business owners have been particularly severely struck.
FREMONT, CA: Social distance and contact tracing are two more excellent COVID-19 prevention methods. People are all aware of social distancing tactics like standing at least 6 feet apart from others in public, staying home if one is sick, and wearing a face mask in public.
Another critical component in halting the spread is contact tracking. Contact tracing is “part of the process of assisting patients and informing contacts of exposure in order to stop chains of transmission,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Technology can assist as more jurisdictions consider reinstating social distancing and contact tracing guidelines to flatten the curve.
RESISTING COVID-19 RESURGENCE USING CONTACT TRACKING AND SOCIAL DISTANCING TECHNOLOGIES
Both business owners and employees want to return to work, but the COVID-19 outbreak offers a substantial health risk to everyone.
ContactWatch is an excellent answer to a complex problem, offering social distancing encouragement as well as contact tracing statistics. Employees wear a small elegant tag on a wrist strap, pendant, or key fob, which aids in the prevention of Coronavirus spread within the facility.
CONTACTWATCH FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING
The first purpose of these WiFi and Bluetooth-enabled gadgets is to keep all personnel at least 6 feet apart and limit hotspot zones where COVID-19 or other infectious diseases can spread more quickly.
As employees go about their business, the devices will make an audible notification or flashlights whenever they get within 6 feet of each other to alert both employees that they are in too close proximity. This occurrence is then logged in the reporting dashboard. Over time, the company may learn which areas of their building are "hotspots," where the most significant employee interaction may occur, and diseases can be easily transferred.
CONTACTWATCH FOR CONTACT TRACKING
The data collected by these tags and reported through the cloud-based portal is the second advantage of ContactWatch.
The robust reporting solution includes automated trend spotting warnings, real-time alerting when groups form, and an interactive contact tracing dashboard. Gamification can increase compliance by reporting on contact counts and trends by a user, group, or department.
When an employee tests positive, use the historical data to establish who they've contacted within the facility in the previous 14 days. Notify those people by automated emails or SMS messages, and then direct the following measures, such as "Avoid further communication and call HR."
Check patterns with at-risk employees and examine increases at an individual, group, or departmental level to monitor and mitigate possible epidemics.
ContactWatch is an excellent solution for organizations wishing to reopen swiftly and safely. These devices are distance and duration customizable and may be placed in a location within hours.
