Dealing with positive COVID-19 cases can be devastating for any business, resulting in an urgent need for premises sanitisation. Even with strict protocols in place that include temperature checking and symptom screening on entry for all employees, it is impossible to completely avoid the risk of positive cases. In the event that any employee has been tested positive, you will need a premises sanitisation plan to ensure that all areas of your building have been completely cleaned and sanitised.
Premises Sanitisation After Positive COVID-19 Cases
The most effective premises sanitisation solution in the case of positive COVID-19 test results is anti-microbial surface fogging. Once the initial fogging has been done, you can also increase your current safety measures. Steps to take in the event of positive COVID tests on your premises include the following:
Step 1: Fogging
Total release foggers are used to disinfect large areas, including offices, retail spaces, commercial kitchens, restaurants, schools, gyms, medical centres, and any other environment. Releasing a fine mist over larger surface areas, surface foggers remove a wide range of viruses – including Coronaviruses – along with surface bacteria.
Step 2: Deep cleaning
Deep cleaning areas that have a higher risk of contamination, such as restrooms, is also essential. Deep cleaning provides a far more intensive clean compared to regular cleaning, removing all contaminants, bacteria and grime efficiently and thoroughly.
Step 3: Sanitisation
Increasing your sanitisation protocols is also highly advised. Make sure that you have hand sanitising stations set up at all entry areas, common areas, restrooms, and other frequently used areas. Make sure that employees have access to sanitising wipes at all times. Use surface sanitiser on a frequent basis, too.
As with anything, prevention is better than cure. Being proactive and using these steps even if no positive cases have been reported is the best way to protect your premises against COVID risks. To find out more about premises sanitisation, contact Enviro-Safe today.
