With Coronavirus cases spreading rapidly throughout the United States, it’s now more important than ever to use protective measures. Face masks have been recommended throughout Florida and are a requirement at many private businesses. When it comes to transportation, enclosed vehicle interiors require effective COVID19 driver protection systems.

At Atlantic Bus Sales, we have developed innovative solutions to keep both passengers and drivers safe. Our COVID19 driver protection barriers are ideal for the public and private sectors.

COVID19 Driver Protection Systems Can Limit the Spread of the Coronavirus

Public bus drivers and private charter bus drivers are at increased risk of contracting the Coronavirus through person to person transmission.

According to health experts, the virus is most commonly transmitted by:

• Surface Transmission: Surfaces that are contaminated by aerosols or infected droplets can transfer the Coronavirus from person to person. In a bus environment, infected surfaces can be touched by drivers and passengers, who then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth, allowing the virus to infect the body. Our physical COVID19 driver protection systems can drastically reduce the risk of surface transmission, as drivers will be separated from passengers and the surfaces that they touch.
• Airborne Transmission: The novel Coronavirus can live in the air for up to three hours. Any time that a person speaks, coughs, or breathes, it’s possible to shed infected aerosols from the lungs. Contamination can occur simply from breathing infected air or exposing the eyes or the nose. Our physical barriers significantly reduce the risk of airborne infection. Enclosed environments like buses are particularly dangerous when considering infected particles in the air, so an efficient COVID19 driver protection system is essential.
• Droplets: Droplets both large and small can contain the Coronavirus. Sneezing and coughing come with a high risk of transmission, but even talking or breathing next to someone who is infected is also risky. Bus drivers interact with passengers face to face. Barriers prevent droplets from reaching the driver. If you want to keep your staff protected, it’s important to invest in clear plastic barriers for your single bus or an entire fleet.

Our barriers are custom-fabricated to fit your unique bus design and driver position. They don’t inhibit visibility and they are safe and approved for use.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that the closer people are, and the longer they spend in close proximity, the higher the risk is of transmitting COVID19.

With our physical COVID19 driver protection solutions, we can help your organization to ensure that both drivers and passengers are separated from each other, effectively limiting the spread of the virus.
