How to Protect Your Facility from Coronavirus

Unfortunately, the Coronavirus has not only hit the United States but it is currently spreading throughout our beloved St. Louis area. Currently, there are a variety of schools that have closed along with businesses. But, for those schools, businesses, and commercial buildings that are still up and running how do you protect your facility against the Coronavirus? Aside from taking traditional precautions such as washing your hands, covering your mouth when you sneeze, and staying home when you feel ill, did you know you can still do more? You can add a layer of protection by spraying Woodard’s Disinfection Services.

What We Know About Coronavirus (COVID-19)

What the CDC Says About Disinfecting Your Facility from Coronavirus

The CDC encourages facilities such as schools, commercial buildings, businesses, and homeowners to both clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes items such as tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, faucets, etc.

To clean a surface you should use a detergent or soap mixed with water to remove dirt prior to disinfecting. Then, to disinfect, the CDC recommends an EPA-registered product which has shown to be effective against emerging viral pathogens*.

*List N includes products that meet EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19.
