What to do if there is a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case at your place of business.

We all know prevention is the best policy, but as we’ve seen over and over, COVID is a sneaky and persistent enemy. If a person who has visited your workplace is suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19, you must thoroughly clean and disinfect all areas they came into contact with. Ideally, you should disinfect all other areas of the business to safeguard against possible cross contamination. 

It is important that those cleaning an area of suspected contamination are equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment. All cleaning equipment used for the clean must be sanitised or disposed of appropriately to reduce the spread of the virus and prevent cross contamination.

While it is possible to do this yourself, it would be worthwhile having your premises cleaned by a business that specialises in COVID pandemic-grade and decontamination deep cleans. They will already have all the necessary knowledge and protective equipment, and will have access to — and be certified to use — high grade disinfectants that you might not be able to get your hands on. 

Should there be a potential COVID-19 case linked to your premises, Olinga Services’ Rapid Response Teams are highly trained and specialised to deliver a complete disinfection of your business. Depending on your location, we can have a team onsite within two hours to limit the disruption to your business and get your doors reopened as soon as possible. We will also verify your premises as an Olinga Services SafeZone allowing your staff and customers to Enter with Confidence.
