Current corona topic: face masks - yes or no?
In some Federal States it is already mandatory, in others, wearing face masks has only been strongly recommended up to now.
At csi, we want to make sure that our employees always have a mask to hand in case they should need one or if they feel more comfortable wearing a mask. We recommend wearing face masks, in particular in areas where the minimum distance cannot be observed.
We considered where we could source masks from early on. There are lots of possibilities: sewing or buying masks yourself, without taking masks away from the medical personnel that need them. Some of our employees are already working away busily on sewing masks for private use.
We decided to order masks for csi employees from a local business in Heilbronn. This means we can kill two birds with one stone: on one hand, we are supporting a local business which has had to re-orientate its business model due to the current corona crisis and, on the other, we are ensuring the protection of our employees.
Last week, we collected our masks from the Heilbronn company HMS Easy Stretch. HMS Easy Stretch normally produces awnings, illuminated balls or decorations, such as elastic high table covers for trade fairs or large events, such as Haigern Live. Due to the economic situation, the company had to declare insolvency. Nonetheless, it reacted to the current situation and re-oriented its business towards sewing masks from the materials it had available for private individuals and companies. The masks can be washed at 60 degrees and are therefore reusable and also produced in Germany by the company‘s in-house seamsters.
