How technology can support social distancing
Read more
The world as we know it is changing. The bottom line is that buildings are not going to be able to reopen and operate safely without robust post-pandemic planning for pedestrian movement. Real people get confused and break rules. It's one thing to hang signs and tape lines and crosses to the floor but will people stay in their boxes and comply to the social distancing rules? Will they have real fear of proximity? Knowing how to manage your space as guidelines ease, or if the government asks you to double down again overnight in the face of new waves of infection, is vitas.
