Exposure to a Virus in a Commercial Setting

5/10/2021 (Permalink)

Over the past year, we have seen more than ever, people afraid to touch doorknobs in a public place. We have started a avoiding touching anything unless absolutely necessary. We carry hand sanitizer, wipes, face masks, and face shields. We have taken a stronger path to fight germs than we ever have before in the history of our world.

Why is going out into public scary? For the simple fact that we do not control the cleanliness of that environment. We cannot control other people or make choice for them to stay home when they are sick. We don’t have the answers of who all has touched that shopping cart in the last few hours. Normally, this information wouldn’t seem pertinent, but over the past 14 months…there has been a shift.

So what do you do when a co-worker, an employee, a boss, or a customer gets sick and gets a COVID-19 positive test? Do you start cleaning? Do you close the doors to your business? Do you warn each person that comes through your door? Do you know how to properly inactivate a virus?

SERVPRO does. SERVPRO has been deactivating the COVID-19 virus for the last 14 months. We use our specialty products and procedures that keep us, and our customers safe during the performing of a job.

If you are planning to hire SERVPRO to do a COVID-19 cleaning within your business/facility, you should shut the doors as soon as you can without causing panic.

Call SERVPRO, be honest and let us know that your business has had an exposure to the COVID virus. It’s paramount you are honest about details, so we can clean the area properly. When we come in, it’s best to have the area clean so we can fog as well as wipe down solid surfaces.

After we are done, and you are cleared to return to the building, you now have the proof that you took the best measures in fighting this virus and making your building/business safe again for customers to enter.
