DESCRIPTION

? APPARATUS FOR SANITIZATION AND / OR SANITIZATION OF

PEOPLE AND / OR OBJECTS?

Technical field

The present invention? aimed at an apparatus for sanitizing and sanitizing people and / or objects.

The invention finds particular application as a sanitizing and sanitizing system for people and / or objects applicable at the entrance gates of public and / or private buildings.

State of the art

In a cosmopolitan world, where kilometer distances are substantially zero and in which direct and constant interactions between different cultures are possible, it is essential to guarantee high standards of hygiene to protect the entire world population, in order to avoid the onset or spread. of epidemics or even pandemics.

In the event of an epidemic or in normal situations? for the protection of immunosuppressed people,? it is necessary to guarantee decontaminated environments where you can carry out your duties or spend free time in order to keep active the workforce of a country, as well as? to ensure a satisfying lifestyle.

However, in the event that sufficient personal protective equipment (so-called? PPE?) Are not available, for example masks, gloves or disinfectant gels, or those available are not used correctly, the spread of pathogens would not be countered in a way efficient, thus putting people who frequent certain people and / or certain public or private places at risk. Furthermore, ? It is possible that bacterial and / or viral agents are spread by infected but asymptomatic people (that is, apparently healthy and unaware of their actual state of health), which can infect shared public or private places, such as offices, supermarkets or airports.

In addition, during an epidemic,? It is normal for people to view strangers and go to public places, such as supermarkets or parks, with distrust, for fear of being infected. ? It is also possible that in order to counter the epidemic spread, stringent rules are imposed to protect public health, for example the limitation of social interactions and travel. However, all this causes considerable economic damage, especially in some sectors, such as catering or tourism.

Therefore, the present invention intends to offer a solution to the aforementioned drawbacks by also responding to the security requests imposed by the so-called protocol. anti Covid-19.
