Disinfecting surfaces is one key way to minimize the spread of viruses, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), here are some ways we are working to ensure a healthy experience using EPA and OSHA approved virus-killing products:
- Check-in – We are requesting patients to sanitize your hands after use of our pens.
Please allow social distance policy (personal body space) with others around you. - Treatment areas – In addition to the waiting room and check-in areas, we have increased the cleaning schedule of treatment areas, making supplies readily available to our teammates for spot or more frequent cleaning and more seat cleaning in the process. We have increased its regular infection control cleaning program, including high traffic areas, door handles, phones and other frequently touched surfaces.
Hand sanitizer access to patients
Simple personal hand hygiene including frequent hand washing and not touching one’s eyes, nose or mouth is essential to minimizing the spread of the COVID-19 and other viruses. While we know many patients are following this guidance, here are some other ways we are assisting patients with ways to stay clean:
- Hand sanitizers – We have hand sanitizers for use at all check-in and check-out counters.
