Here are some of the newest coronavirus innovations.
Hands-free door handle
According to experts, the coronavirus can live on stainless steel for at least 3 days, and mostly the handles are made of steel so hygienic door handle is coming into the market very shortly. This innovation could be a game changer in hospitals where the hand sanitation is a matter of life and death.
There are other products like door opening hook that are currently in the market created by Steve Brooks. They hook is small enough to fit in your pocket.

Masks and Ventilators

The company is pushing to produce to a million per week and also take stoke backup for UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
Dr. Rhys Thomas from Wales designed a ventilator that helps patients breathe and also has the capability to kills coronavirus. Although it has some basic functionality to fight with the initial case of coronavirus, it won’t replace the ICU’s ventilator. The main aim behind this innovation is to reduce the patients going towards intensive care units and that will help specialists and nurses to have some breath from their duties.
In this situation, we need to help each other and share the latest innovations and new gadgets with each other so that everyone can get benefit from it and saves as many lives as possible.
