Assessment of Devices and mitigating measures during the Covid 19 Pandemic

Abstract

The studies on survey of devices and mitigating measures during the COVID 19 Pandemic aimed to produce quality washable face masks and face shields and to distribute the same to the Local Public, faculties and students of Muzaffarnagar city by Shri Ram College. Methods and processes like sewing of washable face masks using microshine fabric, printing of logo of funding agency and implementing agency, disinfection process of exposing to direct sunlight and packaging prior to distribution were done for production and distribution of face masks. For face shields, the methods and processes are the following: crafting of face shield using foam, garter, double sided tape and plastic acetate, sticking of logo and packaging of the product prior to distribution. Proper coordination with the Chairman in Shri Ram College, Muzaffarnagar and setting of schedule was considered prior to the distribution of mitigating devices. Representatives of each SRGC were gathered during the schedule through coordination with Association of SRGC Chairmen for the distribution. Based on evaluation of the recipients on the product, both washable face masks and face shields were rated excellent as to quality of material, appropriateness of material, design and craftsmanship. It is therefore recommended that the concept of the project will be embedded in the curriculum and in the College Extension Program to ensure sustainability.
