Lapho abagibeli belula izitebhisi ezizihambelayo ku Isikhumulo sezindiza iMineta San José International (SJC), bangaqiniseka ukuthi babamba indawo ehlanzekile nehlanzwe isikhathi ngasinye. I-SJC ifake amadivayisi amasha futhi amasha we-ultraviolet light (UVC) kuwo wonke ama-escalator angaphakathi kwesikhumulo sezindiza. Amadivayisi aqhubeka ngokufaka amagciwane ezindaweni ezibulala amagciwane afika kuma-99.9% wamagciwane, nokubuyisela indawo esanda kuhlanjululwa ukuze umuntu ngamunye ayibambe.
UMqondisi Wezokundiza Kwabakwa-SJC, uJohn Aitken, uthe, “Ukuphepha kuyaqhubeka nokuba seqhulwini lethu futhi ubhadane lunikeze amathuba okuhlola amathuluzi nezindlela ezintsha. Ngalobu buchwepheshe obusha be-UV, asiqinisekisi nje kuphela ukuthi wonke ama-escalator handrails ezikhumulweni zethu ahlala ephephile futhi ehlanzekile, sinikeza nesiqiniseko sokuthi kuphephile ukubambelela ezintanjeni ukuvimbela ukuwa ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokuhlangana namagciwane. ” U-Aitken uyaqhubeka, "Sifuna ukuthi amakhasimende ethu azizwe enesibindi futhi ephephile lapho engena ephuma eSan José, kusukela ngasenqenqemeni lomgwaqo kuya esangweni lezindiza, nawo wonke amaphuzu aphakathi."
Ukusiza ukufeza lokhu, i-Aitken ne-SJC yethule umshini wokubamba ngesandla weSchindler's Ultra UV Pro, osebenzisa ilambu elimbili le-UVC elingabonakali ukuqeda amabhaktheriya namagciwane, ukuvimbela ukusabalala kwawo. Amadivayisi abekwe ngokufihlakele ngaphakathi kohlaka lwama-escalator handrail, okusho ukuthi ilambu le-UVC elikhishiwe ngeke lithinte abagibeli futhi libulala amagciwane kuphela lapho lihlangana khona.
Izibani ezintsha ze-SVC ze-SJC ezinciphisa amagciwane zijoyina uhlu olukhulayo lwezinyathelo zokuphepha ezifakwe esikhumulweni sezindiza ukuphendula ubhadane lwe-COVID-19:
• Ukumboza ubuso kuyadingeka kuzo zonke izikhungo zezindiza
• Ukuhlanza okuvamile, okujulile usebenzisa i-electrostatic sprayers ukukhipha igciwane ezindaweni okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo
• Iziteshi zokuhlanza izandla ezindaweni ezithintwa kakhulu kuwo wonke amaTheminali
• Izihlangu ze-Plexiglass ezifakwe ezindaweni zokubala amathikithi, eziteshini zamasango, nasemahhovisi okubanga izimpahla
• Izimpawu zokuqhela komphakathi ukukhumbuza abagibeli ukuthi bahlukane ngamamitha ayisithupha
• Ukuhlukaniswa ezindlini zangasese phakathi kompompi kanye nemichamo ukuhlinzeka ngokuvikelwa okwengeziwe
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Ngalobu buchwepheshe obusha be-UV, asigcini nje ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi zonke izitebhisi ezizihambelayo ezikumatheminali ethu zihlala ziphephile futhi zihlanzekile, siphinde sinikeze isiqinisekiso sokuthi kuphephile ukubambelela emikhondweni ukuze uvimbele ukuwa ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokuhlangana namagciwane.
- Amadivayisi ahlaliswa ngobuhlakani ngaphakathi kohlaka lwe-escalator handrail, okusho ukuthi ukukhanya kwe-UVC okukhishiwe ngeke kuthinte abagibeli futhi kubulale amagciwane kuphela indawo ehlangana nayo.
- ” U-Aitken uyaqhubeka, “Sifuna amakhasimende ethu azizwe eqiniseka futhi ephephile lapho endizela engena futhi ephuma e-San José, kusukela enqenqemeni lomgwaqo ukuya esangweni lendiza, nazo zonke izindawo eziphakathi nendawo.
