-The CDC states that COVID-19 is primarily transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets. When someone with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes or speaks, these droplets are released and infectious droplets can be inhaled or they can land in the noses or mouths of those nearby. The CDC also states that respiratory droplets can land on hands, surfaces, and objects around the person when they speak or cough. 

-Recent studies suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may remain viable and infective on surfaces for hours to days, depending on the surface’s material type (fabric, tile, steel, etc.). Thorough cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces are recommended by the CDC and believed to be essential in preventing the spread of infection.

-The presence or absence of the viral genetic material on environmental surfaces can now be directly tested with the new SARS-CoV-2 molecular-based test and used to demonstrate the effectiveness of cleaning protocols.

*With the presence of the Coronavirus/Covid-19, we offer ATP testing which is a process of rapidly measuring actively growing microorganisms through detection of adenosine triphosphate. ATP testing is a method used by food and beverage processors to quickly assess the cleanliness of surfaces or liquid samples from such places as CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems.
