Businesses and citizens are beginning to produce visors with 3d printers in order to remedy the lack of protective equipment.
the Lack of protective equipment in the Danish healthcare system are being remedied by private individuals, small businesses and others who have access to a 3d printer.
One of them is Jonas Damm Sørensen, who is co-founder of the Facebook group “UK Makers against Corona.”
In the group meet more than 1500 members in order to coordinate their production of the visors.
Jonas Damm Hermansen does not have an overview of how many visors the group has made in total.
– But we’re up to producing about 3000 visors in a day, he says.
In the course of the last few days, the group made contracts for the supply of visors among other Region Sjælland and Region Syddanmark.
in Addition, the group has sent the visors to several of the country’s hospitals, which have had a lack of them. Including The National University Hospital.
the Group launched Friday an initiative, which can be supplied visors directly to the parts of the health care system, where there is an acute need.
It just requires that you apply for “DK Makers against corona.”
Jonas Damm Sørensen got the idea to manufacture the visors, when he closely could see that there would be an acute shortage of protective equipment in the Danish healthcare system.
at the same time he could see on the web, to enthusiasts overseas, had made the design for the visors, which can be produced with a 3d printer.
It got him to join in Facebook group and even produce the visors.
The home-made visors fall on a dry place for the Danish health care professionals.
the Staff in the hospital care and the care of older people are nervous that there is not enough protective equipment, when for daily is at work.
It was the overall message at Friday’s news conference on coronasituationen.
– We’ve seen during the epidemic’s spread around the world, that the disease among healthcare professionals is a huge challenge for their efforts.
– It is essential that we do not end up in the situation, said Andreas Rudkjøbing, president of the medical association, at the press conference.
