The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, isn’t going away anytime soon. However, as lockdown restrictions begin to ease and people try to get back to something that resembles “normal life,” certain precautions need to be taken. What better industry can help in this area than security?

We’ve already seen manufacturers such as Honeywell step up by converting their facilities to produce hand sanitizer and N95 masks. But security companies, both manufacturers and integrators, are also creating solutions to help businesses reopen. This includes solutions to both monitor customers and employees for COVID-19, as well as ensure compliance with social distancing measures.
