Sign Company Updates During COVID-19 Restrictions
Companies face different circumstances depending on local regulations.
Blair Brewster, president of SmartSign (Brooklyn, NY), his wife and friends have been making clear plastic medical airway boxes for use by anesthesiologists and other doctors when they intubate and/or aerosol a COVID-19 patient. "The boxes help minimize the viral exposure to the doctors during this procedure," he said. "The Columbia NY Presbyterian doctors really love them (in Manhattan, Long Island and Hudson Valley).... We’ve donated and delivered 20, or so, to local hospitals." These airway boxes can be made by any signshop with a router, Brewster said.

National Printing Research Council, (NPRC; Melbourne, FL) has released a free "Covid-19 Survey Report" available for download. "Almost 280 printers, mailers and owners of sign companies turned out and answered recent survey," according to the NPRC.
Right Way Signs (Chicago) has issued the following statement: "Right Way Signs will be suspending sign production and installation projects until April 8. If the City of Chicago or State of Illinois extends the period of Shelter at Home, Right Way staff members will contact customers with updates. When installations resume, crew members will conduct extra hand hygiene before beginning installation. We will also provide extra cleaning of signs before leaving the site. All sales and design team members are working from home offices and will be able to handle current orders, new quotes and design related matters by email or by phone."
