Gwangju University Installs Air Shower Machines for COVID-19 Prevention
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] An 'Air Shower' for preventing the spread of COVID-19 has attracted attention at Gwangju University.
Gwangju University (President Kim Hyukjong) announced on the 4th that it has installed and is operating air showers (human disinfection devices) at the entrances of two dormitories (Maewon Hall and Saimdang Hall).
This is a follow-up measure to the thermal imaging fever detection system installed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The disinfection air shower is a device that automatically sprays disinfectant when external visitors enter, providing disinfection effects against bacteria and viruses.
Accordingly, entry into the Gwangju University dormitories is only possible after passing through the first-stage disinfection air shower installed at the main gate, the second-stage thermal imaging fever detection system, and the third-stage hand sanitization and mask-wearing check.
In addition, Gwangju University is putting all efforts into creating a safe environment for students and preventing the spread of COVID-19 by conducting daily disinfection work targeting dormitories, libraries, classrooms, and more.
In particular, a dedicated infection spread prevention team directly under the president has been established to operate a 24-hour emergency disinfection system, and infection prevention behavior manuals have been distributed throughout the campus, with hand sanitizers, masks, contactless thermometers, and questionnaires always available.
On the first day of the semester, masks will be distributed at the entrances of each campus building, and promotional activities regarding prevention guidelines will be carried out.
