As more businesses and public spaces are available to reopen and return to regular operations, it is important to make sure the necessary precautions are taken. Remediation for COVID-19 requires more than just basic cleaning. Everywhere we go, we are witnessing cleaning and disinfecting like never seen before. At the grocery store shopping carts are being wiped down, doorknobs and gas pumps are being cleaned, nearly any surface we may encounter is being maintained for cleanliness constantly. This routine is what allows people to feel safe going out in public.
Luckily, the small surfaces are addressed quickly and with ease. However, the real problem is how do we scale the disinfecting/sanitizing routine to the levels that communities are going to require? What are the processes developed for large outdoor locations like bus stops, subway and train platforms and public gathering spaces? In many cases, the answer is nature’s best disinfectant: the UV rays from the sun, though even that is not all-inclusive. Business, local, and state governments will require a fast, reliable, and economical solution for remediation of COVID-19.
