SERVPRO Cleaning Specialists in the Boynton Beach Area Offer Tips for Staying Healthy as COVID-19 and Flu Season Converge – The Boca Raton Tribune

Chamber Member Update

Boynton Beach, FL (Grassroots Newswire) October 2, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged business owners and homeowners alike to find ways to live and work without exposing themselves or others to this highly contagious virus. Now, the approaching flu season is set to complicate that challenge even further. To help control the threat that the one-two punch of COVID-19 and the seasonal flu presents, SERVPRO professional cleaning specialists in the Boynton Beach area urge everyone to be extra vigilant about following cleaning and disinfecting protocols this year.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)1 believe both COVID-19 and the seasonal flu spread primarily by droplets made when infected people cough, sneeze, or talk. While not as frequent, it is also believed adults and children can contract COVID-19 or the flu by touching a surface or an object that has virus particles on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. The CDC continues to recommend a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses, but experts also emphasize the importance of cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces daily to help mitigate the potential spread from contaminated surfaces. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

To limit exposure and control the spread of these double threats, SERVPRO cleaning specialists recommend that you wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer that is at least 60 percent alcohol, keep your hands away from your face, and wear a mask to protect others. For effective daily, routine cleaning at home or at work, they recommend first removing surface grime and dirt with soap and water, then following up with a disinfectant. Its easier to feel comfortable about limiting exposure at home where you can control how clean your surroundings are, said Rick Isaacson, CEO of Servpro Industries, LLC. Its more difficult out in public; but this year especially, its important to be aware of the space youre in. You need to learn to recognize spaces where cleaning is or is not a priority so you can adjust your behavior accordingly.
