Maintaining a self-service kiosk option allows end-users to avoid personto-person contact with your human workers . Over the past few months , researchers have narrowed down the most common way to transmit COVID-19 : person-to-person . It is estimated that interactions between unmasked COVID-19 carriers and unmasked healthy individuals have a 90 % chance of resulting in a healthy individual becoming infected . Masks greatly reduce the spread of infection but do not eliminate it , so providing self-service options to minimise person-to-person interactions where possible is essential .
Implementing a touchless kiosk solution helps the sanitisation supply chain recover . Over the past five months , it has been extremely difficult to purchase cleaning and sanitisation supplies . These products have been in such high demand to maintain a level of social cleanliness that suppliers have been operating on a perpetual back-order status since the start of the pandemic , and an alternate solution could alleviate some of that stress on the supply chain . Allowing people to interact with a kiosk through their own personal device will create a gap where products like hand sanitiser or sanitising wipes would normally be used to reduce the chance of pathogen spread .
