Tips for Avoiding the Spread of Viruses & Bacteria with Shared NK Equipment

As we head into peak rowing season, many clubs and crews will be sharing common equipment. Here are some tips to help prevent potential cross-contamination when using NK products?"

While we do not claim these techniques will be 100% effective against the spread of viruses, here are two ideas that may help your program:

1. When sharing CoxBox microphones, you can purchase a set of finger cots to put on the end of the microphone. These can be found online or in your local pharmacy. The finger cot should not affect the overall sound amplification and can be removed after one-time use. The next user then applies a fresh one for their session.
2. Use a 10% Bleach and 90% water solution to sanitise all the equipment. This solution is very effective against killing all types of viruses and should not harm the plastics or rubber used in our equipment.
