With 58.7 million cases worldwide, it is imperative that everyone adheres to the necessary guidelines.  According to the CDC, cases are rapidly rising as families begin to spend more time indoors closer together allowing the virus to spread more easily. While we wear masks, practice social distancing and wash hands constantly, there are even more preventative measures occurring in hospitals.  For example, single use molded fiber trays are being used to reduce cross contamination.
