CORONAVIRUS SARS-CoV MERS-CoV COVID-19 3
Covid-19 Literacy-1 Variously known: Coronavirus, Novel Coronavirus, (Wuhan virus, Chinese virus) Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID 2019 or COVID - 19) SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-2 (SARS CoV-2) (named by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV)) Novel Coronavirus 2019 2019 nCoV ( the name given by WHO) There may be more names, as I feel. 4
Covid-19 Literacy-2 Covid-19 is just like any other virus Does not admit of medicines (like other viruses) Vaccine preparation, testing, production, commercialisation, availability, affordability, Many questions. May take a year or more to get the answers. Let us live with it, as we live with many other viruses and microbes. Our guts maintain a reservoir of many which are useful to us. Our knowledge, safety measures, and confidence will help us face the challenge, and sail us through this difficult time. Let us feel empowered with the knowledge of Covid-19. 5
Covid-19 Literacy-3 While breathing, we inhale, and carry Covid-19 particles, scattered by the infected persons while sneezing, exhaling, Through windpipe, bronchi, alveoli, where O2 and CO2 get exchanged, it gains entry in our cells. It takes control over the cell functioning, reproduces very fast, in large numbers, and in 2-10 days millions of copies of virus are in our body. All this happens as our immune system is ill prepared, yet to get ready. Our immune system reacts to face the challenge, often creates hostile environment (for ex. raises body temperature), The delay in fighting and disturbance is mainly because our body was unaware. Vaccine provides virus information to the body to prepare in advance. 6
Covid-19 Literacy-5 Covid-19 literacy to us / staff / users is important. It makes us confident. We need to prepare (repackage, etc) this for communicating. Size & Shape of Covid-19: It is round or elliptic, with a diameter of approximately 60140 nm (1 m=1x109 nm) Weight: (One coronavirus weighs 0.85 attogram (1018 grams). In all, globally, it should weigh about 1-2 grams or so. It may prove to be more dangerous than all the wars so far. Can it be a model for the third world war? Like other CoVs, it is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and heat. Furthermore, these viruses can be effectively inactivated by lipid solvents. So, alcohol (ethanol), isopropyl alcohol, or benzalkonium chloride based hand santisers are being used. 7
How Long Covid-19 is Active on Surfaces_1 Coughing forces 3,000, & sneezing 40,000 droplets. Each droplet has about 20 lakh virus particles. Thrown to a distance of about one meter with 300 km/hr speed. Fortunately Virus does not remain stable on books, newspapers for a long. Keep these separate for at least 2-3 hrs, & cardboard for 24 hrs, before reuse. Plastic, metals should be kept at room temperature, with no human exposure, for 24-72 hrs before reuse. For glass, time is more: 96 hrs. Shoes worn by staff / users may carry virus. We need to look for sanitisation. 8
How Long Covid-19 is Active on Surfaces_2 Courier / post received should be kept separate, preferably in the sunlight, for 2-3 hrs (if paper based). In case of plastic or metals, sanitisation will help. Always, use your own pen, to receive post, or otherwise. Pens may carry virus for 24-48 hours. Railings of staircase and Buttons, used by staff and / or users, furniture, needs sanitisation frequently. Sanitise spectacles / goggles, pen, mobile surface, shoes, practically each and every nook and corner, including wash rooms, wash basins, pigeon boxes, etc. 9
Prepare for the New_Normal-1 FOLLOW DIRECTIVES, SOPs of parent institution, government, etc. Dont bypass authority directives. Care for ethical / legal issues. Whom will you permit? Will I be in (over 65)? ... Only members? Casual visitors allowed? How many will be permitted? 50%, 33%, 20%, or ? Staff Management considerations. Who: In any bodys absence? Rorganise access services (such as circulation, document delivery, ILL, remote access to resources, etc). Explore Virtual access / services. Advise and Use open resources. Prepare lists of open resources. Library resources beyond LAN, Remote access. Take care: You may need to Manage Digital Rights (DRM) more and more 10
Prepare for the New_Normal-2 Prepare tutorials for users for new ways / activities / services, answering questions (FAQs), including DOs and DONTs etc. Shoe covers (like in ICU), Mats for sanitising shoes, Masks, gloves, face shields, counter shields, santitiser, touch free buttons (hands free operations), resources, equipment and furniture sanitisation. Develop routines and checks for frequency of sanitisation activities (so to say preen all barbs and barbules). Don't challenge nature. It doesnt differentiate amongst people, rank ... Persons who can adapt can survive. Only humans loose a war. Signage and Guiding in the library at every point. Try invisible contact, communication, collaboration, cloud Use technology tools to achieve touch-less, & non-physical operations. 11
IFLA: Business (more or less) as usual In many countries, cases of the virus have been limited and governments have not taken any specific measures. Nonetheless, normal recommendations around good hygiene apply. In this situation, libraries are, for example: Ensuring access to soap and warm water Ensuring they have a supply of hand sanitiser Keeping surfaces clean, including toys and library computers Ensuring that staff and users are encouraged to take time to recover if they are feeling ill, rather than coming Providing pages with useful links to reliable information for users on their websites and promoting media literacy faced with potential misinformation online. 12
IFLA: Some restrictions There are more cases, and governments are beginning to act in order to limit larger events, as well as actively encouraging people to take extra measures to protect hygiene. In this situation, libraries are, for example: Reconsidering programming such as storytimes or workshops, especially for groups at risk such as older users. Additional efforts to ensure hygiene, including through disinfecting hard surfaces. Removing riskier items such as toys or virtual reality headsets from circulation. Considering whether to close study spaces where people may spend a longer time in the company of others. Preparing for potential further restrictions, for example by ensuring that all staff have the skills and tools to work remotely (if this is possible) and that services, as far as possible, can still be provided digitally. 13
IFLA: Minimal service In many countries there are stricter measures still, with tougher limits on public gatherings, specific warnings for people at risk, and closures in the most affected regions. In these situations, libraries are, for example: Fully closing spaces and only offering the possibility to borrow or return books at a counter, or via a book drop. Some countries are experimenting with drive-through pick-up and return of books. Others are only allowing visitors who have pre-booked. Implementing quarantine policies on returned books Implementing plans to offer remote services for example eLending, eLearning, or support to remote teaching Finalising and testing measures for all staff to work remotely and allowing those who can ... 14
IFLA: Full closure Where measures are strictest, libraries have either been forced to close, or have chosen to do so following consideration of the risks to users and staff. In these situations, libraries are, for example: Ensuring that all staff working from home unless completely necessary. Where staff are coming into work, ensuring that they can do so while respecting rules around social distancing Librarians are being reassigned to other duties in other departments , for example using information management skills to support health and social services Providing ongoing communication with users about opportunities to use library resources or services Organising digital story-times where copyright permits Promoting use of digital libraries and other tools - including potentially investing in more content/licences Offering an amnesty on borrowed physical books, and increasing the number of eBooks users can borrow Making library spaces and equipment available for other activities Raising awareness of digital offers, both on websites, and through putting up posters in the windows ... 15
Reopening Libraries: Summary Limiting numbers in the library Limiting concentration of users Physical distancing Promoting hygiene Keeping Staff Safe Services using technology as a tool Public communication 16
Some Other Considerations_1 COOP = Continuity of Operations, Make a plan for working during and after disasters COVID may be taken to represent: C = Continuity, Connectivity, Collaboration tools, Cloud O = Online Content Generation, Access, and Delivery V = Virtualisation of activities I = Interfaces for search, interacting, etc using internet D = Digitisation, Digital content, DRM, and tools. Disasters are opportunities to grow, get future ready, explore strengths and weaknesses. Face new realities. 17
For ex: Holographic Touch Free, Foot Operated, QR Code Encourage / Install Touch free Technologies 18
More Measures: Some Images 19
More Measures: Some Images 20
Some Other Considerations_1 BUT We need to be careful too. We need not become technocrats. IT, ICT, AI, should be used as an effective tool. We, as many other persons, are fascinated, influenced by technology to an extent that we are distancing from our core discipline. May be this aspect needs an in-depth consideration, and I leave it here. 21
