Facilities – specifically, engineering and maintenance managers and their staffs — can help ensure the proper operation and maintenance of facility assets and equipment to ensuring a clean and healthy work environment, according to an article from Facility Maintenance Decisions on the FacilitiesNet website.
When it comes to cleaning and sanitizing areas where there have been confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19, the CDC recommends specific actions.
At a facility that house's people overnight:
• Open outside doors and windows, and use ventilating fans to increase air circulation in the area. Wait 24 hours or as long as practical before beginning cleaning and disinfection.
• Focus on cleaning and disinfecting common areas where staff and others providing services might come into contact with ill persons.
• Continue routine cleaning and disinfection as in this guidance in areas ill persons have visited or used.
