COVID-19 Environmental Cleaning for Workplaces

We have been asked by customers to test for contamination of office workplaces.

For purposes other than confirming human infection, coronavirus test kits are not commercially available at present (and healthcare should always take priority of supply).

We have undertaken some before-and-after inspection of surfaces for certain customers who sought an indication of the effectiveness of cleaning procedures – this is however,  NOT a test for the virus itself.

In general workplaces (non-healthcare settings) routine cleaning, together with social distancing, is an effective measure to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The Department of Health (WA) has released a practical guideline which includes information on appropriate cleaning chemicals and personal protective equipment (PPE) for cleaning staff.
