If you are one of the many organisations finding your “new normal” after the Covid pandemic, you may be wondering what steps you can take to keep your business safe.

In this article, we take a look at how Covid alert wristbands can help your business or organisation run safely and reassure your clients and staff.

Read on to understand how wristbands for Covid can take safety to the next level. Let’s take a look sector by sector.

Wristbands for Covid in healthcare organisations

Colour-coded wristbands for Covid can show a patient’s current health status. For example, a green wristband can indicate that someone has recovered from the virus or has been shown to have antibodies.

For inpatients, a yellow wristband denotes a patient who has not been infected with the virus, and red can be used for anyone at high risk, such as the elderly or people with underlying health conditions.

You can also introduce a system for testing wristbands for Covid, with a colour or message to say tested positive and a different choice for tested negative.

Why not extend the scheme to healthcare workers to make it easy to recognise that they are members of staff?

Wristbands are also useful when it comes to vaccination campaigns. Giving colour-coded wristbands to staff as soon as they have been vaccinated works as an incentive and gives them a sense of belonging.

Silicone wristbands make an excellent choice for healthcare as they’re comfortable, durable, non-toxic and easy to clean.

They also work perfectly alongside any medical ID bracelets your patients may already be wearing.

Wristbands for Covid in educational organisations

Wristbands for Covid are ideal for “bubble” systems where groups of students and teachers only interact with others within their bubble.

Make it really simple by naming each bubble with a colour, with wristbands of the same colour to be worn by students and staff.

This makes it super easy for staff to identify at a glance whether students are in the correct bubble.

There are lots of other ways coloured wristbands can be used:

  • To show that a student or staff member has passed their temperature check
  • To indicate which zone they can relax and eat their lunch in
  • To show an individual’s social distancing preferences

Wearing colour-coded wristbands can support other safety measures in place, such as temperature checks, regular use of sanitiser and using partitions between desks to keep students distanced.

Having an effective system in place to keep staff and students safe also gives reassurance to parents.

Fabric wristbands are perfect for use in educational organisations. They’re long-lasting and come in funky designs that will appeal to staff and students alike.

Covid event wristbands

If you’re organising a live event, you’ll be eager to set up security measures to help it run smoothly and safely.

Covid event wristbands allow you to do just that. They can show an attendee’s negative Covid status and can be used in combination with other wristbands to easily show participant categories.

These include areas they have permission to enter, including VIP access, what package they have paid for and what age group the participant falls in.

Use them for events such as:

  • Meetings
  • Conferences
  • Team building days
  • Networking events
  • Recruitment fairs
  • Exhibitions
  • Talks and lectures
  • Sports events
  • Music and drama events
  • Markets
  • Festivals

Tyvek wristbands are the ideal solution for events. Once they are placed on the wrist, they are not easy to get off so there’s little chance of someone transferring them inappropriately.

Available in many colours and designs, they can also be customised with your event logo and branding with ease. Tyvek wristbands are durable, too, making them ideal for outdoor events where weather may be an issue.

Communicate social distancing choices

You can use colour-coded wristbands to communicate social distancing choices across many different sectors.

For example:

  • Red wristbands can indicate no physical contact with the wearer.
  • Yellow wristbands say the wearer is comfortable with an elbow bump.
  • Green wristbands mean handshakes and high fives are welcome.

This simple system instantly puts people at ease and is super easy to follow.
