Is there a reason to disinfect your home or business in North Georgia?

Viruses (anaerobic particles that can live without the presence of free oxygen), can affect other living organisms including people. Being made of small genetic materials such as RNA or DNA, viruses can only replicate when they attach themselves to a living host cell, which can then cause you illnesses such as COVID-19, smallpox, flu, colds, warts and HIV/AIDS.

COVID-19 doesn’t seem to have an end in sight for the near future, and is a quick spreading virus, easily spread through infected respiratory droplets via sneezing, coughing, or direct person to person contact.

Infection control is very important depending on the workplace and exposure risks. Employers should perform infection assessments in the workplace to have an effective infection control strategy.

Regardless of the nature of the virus, (COVID-19, flus, and colds) the type of work and exposure risks, proper sanitation, quarantining and social distancing will minimize the spread of many types of viruses.

While many safety precautions can be put in place, there are times when a virus may break out when professional help may be needed for disinfection, especially in large gathering areas such as schools, daycares, the workplace, restaurants, places of worship, nursing homes, and the list goes on. Some of the ways you can help control the spread of contamination include:

• Avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes
• Frequent and proper hand-washing
• Using alcohol-based hand sanitizers
• Social distancing
• Into your elbow area, covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze
• Self-isolating when you feel sick,
