Q:
Do the treatments continue to prevent COVID-19
re-contamination?
A:
There is currently no EPA-registered COVID-19 disinfectant with a continuous kill claim. The disinfecting treatment kills the existing presence of stated pathogens. If an infected person(s) enters or re-enters the already treated area, there is a chance that the environment will be
re-contaminated. To address this concern, AZ Sanitizing can provide recurring cleanings (weekly, bi-weekly etc.) for at-risk or high traffic environments to reduce the chance of viral spread.
Q:
What can we do to further protect against COVID-19 and other pathogens?
A:
Practice social distancing, wear facial coverings, and follow proper prevention hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and using alcohol-based (at least 60% alcohol) hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
