“No-Handshake Code” under Coronavirus affected semiconductor

Some of the most prestigious technology firms and huge players in semiconductor industries in Silicon Valley, recently put up signs on their door and gate, cautioning eager business partners who walk into its offices and plants: “Due to the Coronavirus, no Handshakes please. Thank you.”

The new coronavirus disease, now officially known as Covid-19, has taken the lives of more than 1,357 people so far — most of them in the Hubei province of China, where the outbreak started.

So far, out of 13 total in the United States, 4 confirmed cases of coronavirus have been reported in the Northern California region, including Silicon Valley. Public health officials in the area have said there’s currently a low risk to public health; the cases, they say, have been contained to those who have recently travelled to Wuhan and their direct family members.

Aside from the institutional precautions major tech companies like Apple and Google are taking by restricting employee travel and halting operations in China, some tech professionals are taking individual measures to protect themselves.

If they’re used correctly, P95 and P100 face masks can reduce the likelihood of being exposed to coronavirus by blocking contaminated air particles. Currently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises against people in the US using face masks because most people who aren’t trained medical professionals may not know how to fit them properly, and the risk of exposure in the US is so low to begin with.

In some ways, Silicon Valley elites have been preparing for this moment. Tech billionaires and other wealthy Americans have long been gearing up for Doomsday scenarios like a global pandemic that could disrupt societal stability. Some are building out elaborate refuges as far away as New Zealand.

It’s striking because in the midst of all this wealth, there’s this kind of deep, paranoid fear about bodies and disease, a technology researcher and editor of essays about Silicon Valley visual culture. Most people think in classic Silicon Valley fashion, they’re responding to a genuine problem, but it’s unclear these are effective solutions for the real issue.

Although Nexteck Singapore Pte Ltd., is majored in Singapore and Malaysia, and East Asia Semiconductors, backend packing materials service. However, most of the giant players who dominate the decision of production and logistics are issuing their commands for packing materials, like cover tapes, carriers tapes, PI tapes are in Silicon Valley. Right now, public health officials say there’s little known risk of anyone in Northern California encountering someone with the new coronavirus in public in the first place, since the four confirmed cases are under quarantine. A spokesperson for the Silicon Valley’s Santa Clara County public health department said that reducing handshakes is recommended generally to prevent the spread of colds and flu, but not specifically for coronavirus.

www.nexteck.com.sg sincerely wishes, the “No-Handshake Code” may fade out with the coronavirus soon in Silicon Valley and the whole world.
