B and B Maintenance, Inc. Takes a Stand Against COVID-19

About Corona Viruses
Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that usually infect animals. There are seven Corona Viruses that are known to infect humans. All of these originated from animals.
​
Out of the seven known human corona viruses, four usually produce mild to moderate illness. Two of the newer identified coronaviruses (SARS and MERS) are known to produce more serious illness, and the last one was identified recently in China.

How are corona virus infections transmitted?
Human coronavirus infections can be transmitted as follows:
• Through the air by coughing and sneezing
• Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands
• Touching contaminated surfaces, then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.
The World Health Organization (WHO) published an infographic (see below) to educate the public on how to prevent becoming sick with a coronavirus infection.

People can protect themselves from the virus by washing their hands with soap and water, avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth and keeping away from sick people, according to the CDC.
​
In addition, B and B Maintenance, Inc. and Multi-Clean suggests regular cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, especially high touch surfaces with an EPA registered disinfectant with Human Coronavirus claims and SARS associated corona virus, such the current B and B Maintenance, Inc. SOP disinfectant, Multi-Clean Century Q 256.
