Air purifiers in the hotel and restaurant industry

How this powerful machines are helping the industry that suffered the most in the pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the world was pandemic due to the new virus COVID-19. The virus that disrupted the world was spreading fast throughout the globe. Governments were forced to apply strict measures and lockdowns to mitigate the infections and help the drastically overwhelmed hospitals. Lockdowns and restrictions forced hotels, restaurants, and bars to close their doors till the situation got better. Two years have passed, and COVID-19 is still disrupting the world; according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), COVID-19 is here to stay. During these two years, the hotel and restaurant industry has struggled with the non-ending restrictions governments are implementing to businesses that lack ventilation. The sector has struggled to find ways to assure the client’s safety, but it has been challenging with COVID-19 and its new easy transmittable variants.

The measurements European governments are implementing.

European countries such as the Netherlands closed for the whole month of December bars and restaurants due to the increase of the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron. In France, people will be allowed to drink in bars but sit down rather than stand up. In Belgium, restaurant owners are forced to measure CO2 levels and ensure quality air ventilation. If the restaurant does not meet the ventilation standards, the government will give a fine. Governments have applied stricter measurements to the food and beverage industry due to the higher risk of getting infected in closed spaces. According to studies, COVID-19 transmissions are more likely to happen in closed areas due to the lack of pure and sterile ventilation. Due to this reason, adequate ventilation is essential in places such as hotels, restaurants, and bars.

Why are air purifiers the new solution?

The solution for the food and beverage industry is air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters (High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filters). The company AIR8 offers high-tech air purifiers equipped with HEPA 13 filters certified by the German TÜV laboratory. AIR8 offers cutting-edge air purifiers that contain 4 to 6 high-end filtration stages that eliminate small toxic air particles that are dangerous for our health. Scientists have proven that HEPA filters can filter 99.97% of the air. They are designed to eliminate harmful airborne pollutants, including bacteria, viruses, and allergens. That is why powerful air purifiers are the best solution for the food and beverage industry. HEPA filters are already being utilized in hospitals and installed in more than 500 open schools in Germany. After different tests, The Fédération Horeca Bruxelles authoritatively suggested that all establishments acquire air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters to diminish the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
