<p class="MsoNormal">*Test 6 underway* <br>
Five materials that are commonly found in furnishings and exhibits of archives, libraries, and museums were selected for the sixth REALM lab test. Battelle researchers will apply the COVID-19 virus to each item and measure how much remains after 2, 4, 6, and
8 days. The study began on October 8 and includes the following items:<br>
<br>
* Marble (flooring, counters)<br>
* Powder-coated steel (lockers, shelving, book trucks, exhibit elements)<br>
* Laminate (countertops)<br>
* Brass (fixtures, railings)<br>
* Glass (windows, display cases)<br>
<br>

<br>
*Toolkit materials available*<br>
Also available are the first in a series of materials to help support the interpretation and use of REALM project resources. These materials include:
<br>
<br>
* REALM 101 (about COVID-19 and the project) <br>
* A checklist for decision-making <br>
* Visual aids comparing all REALM test results thus far<br>
