Hygiene Remains Key To Controlling Coronavirus

Healthcare facilities also need to focus on surface cleaning and placement of sanitizer dispensers


When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the initial focus in many facilities was on surface sanitization and hand hygiene as strategies for controlling the spread of the coronavirus. Eventually, many organizations, including healthcare facilities, turned much of their attention to HVAC systems as the facility component of greatest interest in minimizing the spread of the infection.
