Coronavirus Anxiety: How Event Attendees Feel Safer with Proxfinity
“There is no health without mental health,” wrote UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in a guest article in TIME Magazine. His message is that the coronavirus crisis is not only a threat to our physical health; it is also an immense danger to our psyche. How can the Proxfinity CUE help attendees feel safer coming back to in-person events?
What is Coronavirus anxiety?
It is not only the danger of infection that puts people in fear. It’s also an uncertain future, the fear of losing one’s job, increased stress and pressure, lack of social contacts, lack of routine and daily new horror stories that cause emotional stress and endanger mental health.
What does this mean for company hygiene protocols?
In the fight against COVID-19, the planning and implementation of safety and hygiene protocols is about more than just compliance with hygiene and distance regulations or tracing of possible infection chains.
It also must address the concerns and fears of attendees. After all, if attendees do not feel sufficiently protected and understood, even the strictest hygiene protocol will not bring a feeling of security to your event.
Listed below are 5 things which help attendees feel safe while where the Proxfinity CUE at their in-person event.
Reduce Risk: Wearing a safety measure alone makes the attendee feel more safe knowing their company or event team is taking every measure of security possible in them returning to face-to-face events.
Provide Assurance: Do you always keep a distance 6 feet in everyday life? Probably not. Even if you do, it’s harder than you think. Our digital event name tag will let you know if you have breached the safety zone while interacting with other attendees.
Real-time Event Interaction Data: While wearing the CUE, event planners can see interactions in real-time so if an outbreak were to occur during or post event, they know which attendees were most at risk and can alert them quickly.
Creates a New Normal: As events are opening back up again. Contact tracing will be at the forefront of any event. This will provide a sense or normalcy as we transition from lockdown to engaging with others again.
Enables Social Interactions: After not going to events and having a social calendar like years before, you might need a little help in interaction with other attendees again. With the Proxfinity CUE, it gives you an alert that you are near another attendee with a common interest, so you can easily pick up a conversation with someone new.
