COVID-19
Information for Elettra and FERMI users
Respiratory protective equipment at Elettra
The use of respiratory protective devices such as FFP2 filtering face masks ( FFP2) is still an important measure for health protection.
Here follow the recommendations regarding the use of FFP2 masks.
Masks are recommended:
- in environments where the number of people exceeds what specified on door signs;
- during in-person meetings, when the maximum number of people exceeds what prescribed by the SPP (Prevention and Protection Service) concerning the use of meeting rooms;
- whenever a gathering of people occurs, even occasionally;
- when queueing for access to premises, the canteen or other public places (e.g. refreshment rooms);
- for those who share their work environment with personnel included in the “vulnerable” category;
- in presence of any symptoms affecting the respiratory tract;
- in the lifts.
The use of FFP2 face masks is not necessary:
- outdoors;
- whenever the maximum number of people allowed in an environment does not exceed what established on door signs;
- in public areas, such as corridors, stairs, entrance hallways etc. where there is no risk of creating gatherings of people.
It is recommended that everyone always has a FFP2 face mask ready to use, if needed; if not available please contact the beamline scientist in charge.
- FFP2 masks remain compulsory on public transports (airplanes excluded, where masks are only recommended).
