Hawaii County is dispatching three foggers to healthcare facilities to battle COVID-19 on the Big Island, according to an article on the Hawaii Tribune website.
The three Fogmaster Tri-Jet foggers are used to disperse a disinfectant into the air and on surfaces for a more thorough cleaning.
“It’s intended to reach those hard-to-reach areas — those spaces that it’s not practical to reach with a wiper,” according to Hawaii County Civil Defense’s Logistics and Finance Division staff officer Tom Olson. “This can get those certain spaces that may be in a corner or behind a unit. If there was any type of particulate that needs to be disinfected, this can take care of it.”
A fourth fogger is slated for Hilo Medical Center’s triage tent that’ll be established if cases present. An additional 11 are on order for other facilities and county uses, such as for disinfecting Hele-On buses.
