A Comfortable Stay

Posted on: 23 September 2020

Covid-19 disinfection services can be a huge boon to any facility that needs to keep operating while still avoiding the spread of the pandemic. The more people your facility has coming and going or even sharing the same space during the day, the more chances for disease transmission to occur.

Disinfection helps avoid the possibility of spreading illnesses by touch, while other precautions (such as social distancing and masks) help to reduce transmission through close contact. Hospitals aren't the only type of facility that needs disinfection. Here are some examples of facilities that should hire disinfection services despite not being medical facilities.

1. Child Care Facilities

While children aren't usually considered a high-risk group for Covid-19, that doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't spread it to people who are in high-risk groups, such as perhaps the senior members of staff at a child care facility. In addition, children could contract similar illnesses that may have Covid-like symptoms and trigger a quarantine.

While children are cute, they're also less mature than adults, meaning they're often unable to maintain precautions such as social distancing. This makes keeping the facility as clean as possible even more paramount. Hospital-grade disinfection services can help you do this.

2. Schools and Universities

Unlike toddlers and infants in child care facilities, the children and young adults in schools and universities can be required to take precautions such as wearing masks. However, since older children, teens, and young adults don't require such close supervision, they're often packed into even closer contact, with much larger groups than you'd find in a child care facility.

The sheer number of people involved means that anytime your school facility is in session with any in-person classes, chances for spreading illnesses abound. So even when classes are in session with reduced capacity or hybrid attendance, you'll need extra cleaning and disinfection protocols, such as professional disinfection services.

3. High-Traffic Retail Stores

Depending on the size of your grocery store, you may have hundreds or thousands of people coming through the store each day. Since only a fraction of these people will be at the store at any given time, each one has fewer chances to transmit illnesses through droplets.

But one ill person could leave infectious agents on a shopping cart handle that dozens of others will touch. According to the CDC, someone else who touches a surface with Covid-19 virus on it may contract the condition from that event.

So you have to step up your disinfection protocols, such as by hiring disinfection services, in order to be extra vigilant about preventing the spread of disease in your store.

4. Restaurants

Restaurants have to not only step up disease control protocols, but also convince diners and potential diners that the facility is safe. Regular hospital-grade disinfection of the facility can go a long way towards proving that you're taking the potential for infection seriously.

These are just a few examples of facilities that could use hospital-grade disinfection to their benefit even if they're not a hospital or medical facility. If you see any similarities between these examples and your facility, consider hiring disinfection services.
