Infection Control

Preventing Infection Spread in Schools and Daycare

Kids and infections – a perfectly contagious combination. With their constantly runny noses and delight in touching everything, schools and daycares are often hotbeds of infection spread.

Preventing infection and keeping the children in your care safe and healthy can seem like an impossible task under these conditions.

Detecting Illness

It can seem hopeless because, after all, it’s hard to tell if a child is sick before they are already in your school or daycare. The contagious period starts before most symptoms are visible. So how to detect who’s going to spread the latest round of illness through their peers?

welloStationX™

Fortunately, now there’s a unique solution: welloStationX™. By installing one in the entrance, you can scan anyone entering in just three seconds for elevated body temperature. No touching or staff attendant needed.

Since a fever is the best early indicator of a contagious disease, this one quick step could stop the spread of countless bugs.

Screening for Fevers

This process is common in schools in Hong Kong: parents are asked to screen their children for fevers each day before sending them off to school. It’s a non-invasive but very accurate way to screen for possible infectious diseases.
