How to maintain social distancing in offices.

High-tech solutions to make offices safer have been making their presence felt in news and messaging groups. While, reopening plans vary widely between countries and states,  no one solution has emerged as a standalone prevention method.
World Health Organization (WHO) and other health authorities have issued guidlines for companies to make offices safer. With each day, we continue to learn more about the virus Covid-19.
We hear of foot-operated elevators to minimize contact with buttons, as well as UV sanitation that use hospital grade ultraviolet rays to kill pathogens in empty offices and elevators. A few companies have developed gesture detection technologies to help employees open doors, and command elevators without touching the surfaces.   
The air inside offices is almost 75% recirculated and filtered indoor air. The size of airborne coronavirus particles is much smaller than the usual surface-borne particular matter that is filtered by HVAC filters installed in offices and commercial places. Estate management companies are grappling with new filter media to counter this problem.
For employees, safety measures have clearly become table stakes. Many workers would not feel safe to return to offices without measures such as mandatory testing in place. Pre-entry health checks and staggered entrance times can thus serve as assurances that an employer is taking safety
seriously. By implementing and enforcing these systems, employers can reduce anxiety and create a more positive experience for employees as well as visitors.
Covid-19 will have a lasting impact on company operations and office spaces.
As of now, medical specialists have concluded that wearing masks and social distancing is most vital to
reducing spread of Covid-19.
The Gift Mart has come out with innovative products to help maintain social distancing in offices and public places.

:Floor marking is key to implementing social distancing in your office. Use TGM Floor Marking Tape to clearly demarcate walk and work areas.
Not all floor tapes are made equal. When choosing the best tape for your marking needs, it is important to select one that can accommodate various factors that may affect the longevity and effectiveness of your line markers.  
Tapes vary in thickness,  and  it  is  important  that  you  choose  a  tape  that  is  durable  enough  to  withstand  the  type  of  traffic  in  your  facility. Shopping Malls, Schools, Banks experience heavy foot-fall and need heavy duty tape. Most offices, however, see light foot  traffic overall, can typically be fine to use lightweight vinyl floor tapes.
These tapes resist wear and damage from regular use as well as from chemicals used for cleaning floors.
To ensure maximum visibility and awareness, the required minimum width required for floor marking lines is 2” wide- therefore, any width above that is considered acceptable by Industry Standards (OSHA, ANSI). Most typical applications use tape with 2” - 6” widths. Widths above 6” tend to be much more cost-prohibitive and impractical to maintain.

Floor Graphics
One of the best ways to visually communicate social distance and information to visitors and staff is through the use of floor graphics. TGM Floor Graphics are made from premium grade vinyl. These  can  use  images  and  written  text  to  relay  information  that  is  not  obvious  from  floor  lines  and  markings  alone.  Often  used  for  safety  alerts and  directional  information, the use of multiple high-impact floor signs throughout a facility or work area can greatly increase awareness to your message.
TGM Floor Graphics use a good quality adhesive that does not damage the surface. Application and removal are a cinch.

Safety Color Code designates yellow as the caution color. This should be used for marking physical hazards such as stumbling, falling or tripping points. Painted lines tend to chip, peel and crack, especially in heavy traffic areas. Industrial Floor Marking Tapes are recognized as the most convenient and inexpensive way to mark floors, and there are a variety of floor marking tapes available to meet your specific needs.
