Face coverings compulsory on public transport

Face coverings are now compulsory on public transport as Scotland continues to ease its way out of lockdown.

Children under five and people with certain medical conditions are exempt from the new rule which comes into force on Monday.

It covers buses, trains, the Glasgow Subway, Edinburgh trams, aircraft, enclosed areas onboard ferries, taxis and private hire cabs.

The Scottish government is also urging people to continue to limit travel.

Last week, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said face coverings "can help to reduce the risk of transmission" but stressed that physical distancing, hand washing and "good hygiene" were still necessary to prevent infection.

'Collective responsibility'

Further changes now coming into effect include dental practices being able to see patients with urgent care needs.

Places of worship will also reopen for individual prayer and professional sport can also resume behind closed doors.

In addition, the construction industry will be able to move to the next phase of its restart plan.

But it will be another week before some shops can reopen while the tourism and hospitality sector will need to wait until 15 July to resume trading for the first time in almost four months.

As the transport changes take effect, ScotRail confirmed that masks would be available at 18 of its busiest stations for a limited period.

David Simpson, operations director, said: "The position on face coverings is now absolutely clear and we are urging customers to take collective responsibility and follow the Scottish government rules on their mandatory use.

"But Scotland's Railway can't guarantee physical distancing at all stages of a customer's journey.

"The message remains the same as it has been since the start of the pandemic: only travel if your journey is essential."

Disposable Face Mask - Transport Secretary Michael Matheson appealed to people to leave space on buses and trains for the elderly and needy.

He also urged employers to carefully manage their phased returning of staff to work, with figures suggesting that up to 55% of employees could travel to their normal workplace in phase two, which started on 18 June.

When Scotland was in full lockdown, the figure was just 30%.

'Great caution'

This could also result in an increase in the number of passengers on public transport by about a third from the current levels of an estimated 225,000 per day.

Mr Matheson said: "We are now in a position to enter phase two of the route map, however we must do so with great caution, as we cannot risk a resurgence of the virus and wasting all of the good work to date in terms of respecting boundaries and working from home.

"Transport has a vital role to play in helping restart the economy, but there is a clear and great need for personal and collective responsibility when travelling, especially by public transport.

"It's also very important to leave space on public transport for those who need it most."

His remarks come after announcing a further £46.7m of funding available to bus operators on Friday.

It will cover any loss of fare-paying passenger revenue anticipated because of the physical distancing measures and reduced capacity on vehicles, which is estimated to be about 10 to 20% of normal.

'Embrace changes'

Mr Matheson added that there would be circumstances when the two-metre rule was breached, even temporarily.

He added: "That is why all passengers have to wear a face covering.

"I continue to engage directly with business leaders and major employers and I am encouraging them to embrace these changes which can help us all adapt to a new working and business environment.

"We are increasing the frequency of public transport, but without a significant reduction in demand, the plan won't work."

Meanwhile, the dental development is only for treatments which do not create aerosol particles, which is what happens when dental drills are used.

Scotland's chief dental officer Tom Ferris said: "Dental practices will be able to see NHS patients who are in need of urgent care for face-to-face consultation, using procedures which limit the risk of spread of using coronavirus such as non-aerosol-generating procedures.

"This will mean up to an additional 10,000 appointment slots available per day across Scotland."

Latest figures published by the Scottish government reveal that 18,156 people have tested positive for Covid-19.

How to Cleaning Hands with Hand Sanitizer

Components to cleaning hands with waterless hand sanitizers (also known as handrubs), the proper technique, and how hand sanitizers work.

Technique:

Four steps:

Ø  Make sure all organic matter is removed from hands. All visible organic matter (for example: dirt) must be removed from hands prior to applying waterless hand sanitizer.

Ø  Apply a dime sized amount of waterless hand sanitizer to the palm of one hand or use a waterless hand sanitizer wipe.

Ø  Rub hands together covering all surfaces of hands and fingers.

Ø  Rub until waterless hand sanitizer is absorbed.

How it works:

Ø  Waterless hand sanitizer provides several advantages over hand washing with soap and water. However, they are not effective if organic matter (dirt, food, or other material) is visible on hands.

Ø  Benefits of waterless hand sanitizer:

Ø  Require less time than hand washing

Ø  Act quickly to kill microorganisms on hands

Ø  Are more accessible than sinks

Ø  Reduce bacterial counts on hands

Ø  Do not promote antimicrobial resistance

Ø  Are less irritating to skin than soap and water

Ø  Some can even improve condition of skin

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of microbes on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs.

How to Wear and Remove a Disposable Surgical Face Mask

What is a face mask?

Face masks are just one of the many tools used for the prevention of spreading disease. There are many variations of face masks available, FFP2 Mask with their own benefits and features offering varying levels of protection. Its always important to use a face mask that has FDA approval, meaning that the agency has determined that the “benefits of the product outweigh the known risks for the intended use.”

Manufacturers must submit a premarket approval (PMA) application and the results of clinical testing in order to get approval.

How to wear a face mask?

The correct way to wear a FFP3 Mask is with the coloured side of the mask facing the outside.

Regardless of whether you are wearing the mask because you are sick and don’t want to infect other people, or are wearing it to prevent yourself from becoming infected, face masks should always be worn with the coloured side facing out.

As the whole world reacts to the spread of the highly contagious coronavirus, many have been sharing tips and messages on how to avert contracting this all too often fatal virus.

There is a common misconception about the correct way to wear a face mask, many people are suggesting to wear the coloured side facing outside if you’re sick and the white side outside if you want to “stop the germs from getting in”. This is however false, surgical masks are usually worn by frontline healthcare workers in order to prevent infections transmitted by respiratory droplets that are expelled from either coughing or sneezing.

The outermost layer of the Disposable Face Mask is a hydrophobic or a fluid-repelling layer, while the inner layer is there to absorb any moisture, as naturally the air we breathe out contains moisture.

There is also typically a middle layer that filters the bacteria and contaminates.

The purpose of the blue or green layer is to stop germs from sticking to it. So if you wear the mask the other way as wrongly suggested by many, the moisture from the air will stick onto it, making it easier for germs to stay there. And so when you breathe in, the germs will transfer from the outside later and straight into your lungs.

 How to remove a face mask?

·        Wash your hands with soap: and water or Hand Sanitisers before touching the mask. Be sure to avoid touching the front of the mask. Only touch the ear loops/ties/band. Follow the instructions below for the mask type you are using.

·        Face Mask with Ear loops: Hold both of the ear loops and gently lift and remove the mask.

·        Face Mask with Ties: Untie the bottom bow first then untie the top bow and pull the mask away from you as the ties are loosened.

·        Face Mask with Bands: Lift the bottom band over your head first then pull the top band over your head.

·        Throw the mask in the bin. Wash your hands with soap and water or hand sanitiser.
