With the recent outbreak of coronavirus and its potential to spread sporadically from persons to persons, it has become necessary that proactive measures be put in place to prevent the further spread of the viruses. 

Reports from various sources say that the virus is spread when an infected person sneezes or coughs into the air with people around 6 feet from the infected person most likely to contract the virus. The virus can also be spread when an uninfected person comes into contact with surfaces that the virus has settled on and get the virus into his/her body through the mouth, nose, or eyes.

The ease and rate at which the disease spreads have made containing it a lot more difficult, at a time like this, the burden of protection surpasses the government and various registered bodies and now falls on individuals and groups (workplace preventive measures). 

Excel Cleaning Services is one of such groups, but with a target of making workplaces safes and free from coronavirus. Their operational manual goes in line with the four steps for coronavirus prevention iterated by the CDC. This article sheds some light on these steps. They are practical and are things everyone should do every day, with the number one being the practice of good personal hygiene.

·       Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

·       Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

·       Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. 

·       Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available

Other practical steps to take include

·       Sneezing and coughing into tissues or the crook of your elbow.

·       If you get mucus on your skin, clean it off right away. 

·       Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.

·       Avoid close contact with sick people, especially people exhibiting respiratory symptoms and fever.

·       Stay home when you’re sick.

It is crucial to iterate how simple these steps are and how anyone can. It is also important to note that unless you’re already infected and trying to stop the further spread of the virus, wearing medical masks, aren’t necessary.

Regardless of how well you protect yourself, you can never be too sure of other people and your environment, especially when you’re out at your workplace. Excel Cleaning Services tries to mitigate most of these concerns through their round the Clock Protection system. The system uses an electrostatic-fogger to prevents microbes such as viruses, bacteria, and molds from reactivating, on various surfaces such as door handles, desks, and more. This extra level of protection helps to keep the workplace safe and ensures that workflow and productivity continue unhindered.

Staying healthy is good business, and although your body is naturally equipped to fight off various illnesses, a little assistance will help make things smoother and reduce the extra effort carried out by your immune system. In this crucial time, remember always to get enough quality sleep at night, stay hydrated, minimize overly processed foods, and get enough micronutrients in your diet.
