New Corona Spreading transparent sheet 20:24 on May 20

Partitions using transparent sheets have been widely used not only in supermarkets but also in various places to prevent infection. A transparent sheet that is becoming increasingly popular in everyday life. There seems to be some notes. (Reporter, Network News Department Asako Wada, Rie Oishi)

Even in this form! ? Transparent sheet

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, it is a bicycle race and auto racing off-street ticket office in Uto, Kumamoto, which will be closed from the end of February this year. In preparation for the resumption of business, we began full-scale preparation of infection prevention measures from the large holidays in May.

In front of the ticket vending machine on the 1st floor, foot-shaped marks are installed so that a space of about 2 meters can be secured between people, and tapes are put on each chair so that people can sit on chairs at regular intervals I tried to open it.

In addition to it…

"Seat passage" installed

A "passage for seats" was set up for each ticket vending machine using wood purchased from a home improvement center and a transparent table cloth. The aim is to prevent people from lining up with a tablecloth at a height where their faces can be hidden enough to prevent flying infection.

Until now, races have been conducted by unspectators and vouchers have been sold online, but sales have been sluggish. It seems that many elderly fans are unfamiliar with the Internet, and we have decided that it is essential to restart the off-street ticket sales area after thoroughly implementing infection control measures to recover sales.

Shigeo Yanagihara, Chief of “Satellite Uto” and “Auto Race Uto”, said as follows.

Mr. Yanagihara:
“I'm confused by the unexpected measures to prevent infection, and I'm confused as to how far I can prevent infection, but honestly, I have a life-and-death problem, and I want to take every possible measure to resume business. "

Even at "Terakoya"

In addition, transparent sheets were also used in such places. The photos posted on the SNS are teachers who teach English lessons and children. A large transparent sheet separates the teacher and the children.

I posted a temple called Manpukuji in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. When I was a little worried, I called the phone and Yasutaka Handa told me the story.

In the temple, the "Terakoya" that gathered children in the area, such as English conversation, calligraphy, and piano lessons, was restarted after trying to prevent infection.

A Japanese-style room was covered with a clothesline and a stretchable tension bar, and a transparent sheet was hung on it. The seats are designed so that the teacher and children are separated from each other so that they are not "dense".

In addition, in the calligraphy lesson held at the hall, we put a transparent sheet on the pipe hanger purchased at the home center so that we could teach.

I asked how you feel about living with a seat becoming a part of everyday life.

Yasutaka Handa
"I decided to live in my old life without sheets and masks. Especially in English conversation classes, I couldn't do a high touch or hug with my teacher, so the children looked a little lonely. I think that it is because of the times that I understand the importance of my old life. That is why I want children to feel safe and feel free to take lessons while feeling the joy of being able to interact with each other.

Double the sales

A transparent sheet where people face each other. I think I'm gradually getting used to the scenery that used to look unnatural.

According to Ishizuka, which is headquartered in Tokyo and manufactures and sells plastic products, last month's seat sales have almost doubled compared to the same period of the previous year. It is widely used in convenience stores, supermarkets, hospitals, buses, taxis, etc. to prevent flying.

President Koji Kumagai
“I hadn't anticipated the demand and spread up to this point because it was used in factories so far. I would like to keep a large inventory while responding to the situation of infections. is"

Note

Although it is a transparent sheet that spreads in our daily lives, there are some things we need to be careful about.

Experts warn that if a fire occurs, it can spread. According to the Japan Fire Protection Association, which certifies and tests fireproof performance, when a sheet for infection control measures is considered a normal "curtain", it can be used for high-rise buildings with a height of 31 meters or more, roughly 11 stories or more. , Underground shopping malls, hospitals, restaurants, etc. are required by the Fire Service Law to use products that are hard to burn.

However, depending on the size and shape, it is said that the seats installed in various places for the purpose of preventing infection will be "curtains".

It is considered that things that hide only the front of the face are not subject to regulation, and legally even a sheet that does not have flameproof performance is OK.

However, it is necessary to take measures to reduce the risk of fire while taking measures to prevent infection.

Japan Fire Protection Association Yuki Ozawa
“I would like you to use products that are hard-to-burn, but if you don't have them, you can take countermeasures. For example, at a restaurant, you can cook fried foods such as fryer. You can install it away from the source, or you can change it to something that does not burn, such as a glass plate. "

Furthermore, it is also important to install the seat so that it does not interfere with the fire alarm.

Mr. Ozawa: In
the case of an alarm that detects smoke, the smoke may be blocked by the sheet and may not react. Instead of sticking it tightly on the ceiling, open it as close as possible to the ceiling and ask it to be hung. think"

The era of "with corona" requires various innovations in everyday life. Since they are directly connected to their daily lives, it seems that it is not enough to simply consider infection control measures.

I feel that it is important to take safety measures while taking precautions against fires as a sheet to protect yourself from the risk of infection.
