WITH COVID RESTRICTIONS BEING REMOVED, HOW WILL THIS AFFECT YOUR ELEVATOR RIDE?

Article Summary: 

Ontario announces a three-step plan to lift COVID-19 restrictions gradually from January 31, 2022. Public places and buildings are opening up, leading to concerns about using elevators. However, elevator rides are considered relatively low risk for COVID-19 exposure. The reduced capacity due to physical distancing protocols has resulted in longer waiting times, which may persist even after the pandemic. To address these challenges, elevator installations require careful engineering assessments. Elevator manufacturer Otis Worldwide Corporation commissioned a study by Purdue University, which found that elevators have significant air exchange and lower exposure risk when passengers wear masks.
