How we clean and disinfect for COVID-19
Virk disinfection service and environmental cleaning for COVID-19 utilises hospital-grade disinfectant with viricidal properties. We use foggers or mist sprayers to remove the need for contact with surfaces.
No matter your organisation type, cleaning can be customised to your specifications, in keeping with best practice recommendations for health provider cleaning.
We follow leading health service recommendations, with cleaning regimens that include horizontal surfaces, any walls that are visibly contaminated and frequently touched items (e.g. door handles, handrails, counters, tables, desks).
Where risks are increased, such as in a suspected/confirmed outbreak situation, our specialist cleaning team employs full appropriate PPE, including a jumpsuit, gloves, and eyewear & mask or a full-face respirator.
Who can benefit from COVID-19 disinfection
The COVID-19 disinfection service can be used in small and big spaces where there was a confirmed case of COVID-19 infection or as a preventative measure.
- Schools and universities
- Small and large offices
- Shopping centres
- Restaurants, cafes and canteens
- Gyms and fitness centres
How long after the bio-hazard clean is it safe to enter the premises?
You can safely enter the premises 2-3 hours after disinfection.
Please note that the disinfection clears surfaces from potential bio-hazards present in the space at the time of the clean.
Contamination is possible after the clean if an infected individual was to enter the premises afterwards.
Virk offer the option to book the disinfection daily, weekly, forthrightly or monthly, or based on your specific requirements.
How Coronavirus spreads
Based on what is currently known about the novel Coronavirus and similar coronaviruses according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): “person-to-person (transmission) with these viruses happens most frequently among close contacts (within about 6 feet). This type of transmission occurs via respiratory droplets. On the other hand, transmission of novel Coronavirus to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented. (as of 17 March 2020).
“Current evidence suggests that novel coronavirus may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.”
