Isolation requirements and subsequent need for personal protective equipment (PPE) are among the many challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Isolation of COVID-19-positive patients and the use of appropriate PPE by health care professionals are important parts of infection prevention, not only in the hospital setting but also in preventing community spread of the disease. This article addresses isolation requirements, appropriate PPE use, and strategies to overcome challenges such as PPE shortage.

In this work, we realize bilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS) transistors with in-plane gates on sapphire substrates. Through sequential transferring of MoS, e-beam lithography, and metal lift-off, a device with channel width/length of 500:400 nm is fabricated. With a 250 nm separation between the in-plane gate and MoS channel, a drain current as high as 37 μA with a clear saturation region is observed.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major global concerns in the current scenario. Mass-gathering events in fast-developing and densely populated areas may contribute to antibiotic resistance. Despite meticulous planning and infrastructure development, the effect of mass gatherings on microbial ecosystems and antibiotic resistance must be investigated.
