Equipment Cleaning & Disinfection

 

The virus responsible for COVID-19 is known to spread via respiratory droplets that are emitted by infected individuals. The virus can be transferred when someone touches another surface with a contaminated hand. Identifying and cleaning these hi-touch surfaces, before another individual can touch and transfer the virus – is critical in today’s workplace.
