RESTORATION BLOG IN TORONTO & GTA

As the days are gradually increasing, the people are slowly getting impacted by the novel coronavirus which doesn’t seem to stop anytime soon. People are not only taking preventive measures to protect themselves from the Novel Coronavirus, but most of the people are also desperately looking for the ways through which they could disinfect their houses, surfaces which might be contaminated and all those potential areas which might be at the risk of catching the chances of developing the coronavirus in one way or another.

In this chaotic situation, we believe in being on our toes to provide the virus disinfection and equipping our clients with the information which could work as virus infection prevention without being heavy on one’s pocket.
Before we talk about the procedure of disinfecting and sanitizing the areas, which might be potentially impacted by the coronavirus, it is important to understand the basic ways through which the chances of the virus could be reduced to the minimum.
​
Safety Precautions
Although it is highly recommended that during this time, all the people should stay inside their houses and maintain the proper social distancing to reduce the chances of maximum spread of the virus. Some of the crucial tips which should be followed by every individual are as follows:

• Covering one mouth with a tissue while coughing and sneezing
• Maintaining the social distance and staying in isolation from the people who might be at the risk of developing the virus.
• Working around your immunity system by consuming the food items which are crucial for the stomach or could help in gaining the energy.
• If you have traveled around the world then, it is necessary to self-isolate yourself so that you could protect the people around you from the danger of developing coronavirus.  
• Getting the right protective measures in case you have identified that you have developed the symptoms of coronavirus.
• Additionally, keep washing your hands continuously with water and sanitizing them with 60% alcohol-based sanitizer to protect yourself from the virus spread.

Disinfection and Sanitization Services from Coronavirus
The process of disinfection and sanitization from the viruses is one of the important tasks which needs to be done under the sheer care and protection. When a person initiates the virus sanitization procedure then, they might be at the risk of catching several other health issues which could be harmful to many people.
Some of the virus infection prevention tips which are considered by us while providing the sanitization services from coronavirus are as follows:

Virus Cleaning
It is the crucial part of our agreement that before performing the virus sanitization services, we always perform the cleaning task in which all the germs, dirt, impurities and other particles are removed. The procedure of cleaning doesn’t ensure the killing of germs from any aspect. However, it helps in increasing the chances through which the germs could be killed and the effectiveness of the virus sanitization could be ensured.

Disinfection from Virus
After properly performing the cleaning procedure, we start working on the disinfection of the virus procedure which is well-versed than the cleaning one. This procedure refers to killing all kinds of germs from the surfaces so that there would be no chances of virus spread.
According to the researchers, the virus sanitization should be performed in the areas where the chance of human reach is easier but they are harder to clean. During our research procedure, we managed to come up with all the surfaces with which humans tend to interact frequently and through which the chances of spread are higher.
​

• Our service not only includes performing the virus disinfection activities inside the house or areas. However, we also tend to perform it even outside of the house.
• To execute the task of virus sanitization, we tend to utilize all those chemical and items which are said to be an effective solution towards the germs of coronavirus.
• For instance, we would be cleaning the doorknobs with the disinfectants which help in removing the germs from the knobs and makes it safer for human beings.
• After cleaning, the virus infection prevention tips are exclusively provided to the people so that they could take the right measures at the right time and could avoid the spread which is equally harmful to all the people.
• After cleaning the initial touchpoints, we also believe in calling all those areas and surfaces which are highly interactive to human beings. For instance, if you have kids at your home then, your surface might be busier than usual and because of the same reason, we would be focusing on the surfaces first. Since it is proven by the WHO that coronavirus germs stay on the surfaces usually longer than usual, therefore, taking the right steps at the right time is highly important and should not be neglected at any cost.
• After surfaces, we tend to target all those areas which in continuous interaction with the human being. We understand that the time is hard for many people but this problem could easily be solved by taking the right measures at the right time because only we can fight against corona in the right manner.

What is COVID-19?
 
In brief, the coronavirus or Covid-19 is a novel respiratory virus. The main symptoms fever, coughing, fatigue, muscle ache and difficulty breathing.
 The Government of Canada has posted the video below summarizing the virus:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mUrdZGSdAE

How Does It Spread?
 
The virus is most commonly spread from an infected person through:
· respiratory droplets generated when you cough or sneeze
· close to personal contact, such as shaking hands or any physically  touching
· touching something with this types of virus on it, or touching your mouth, eyes or nose before washing your hands

Not every infected person has obvious symptoms. This means the virus is being transmitted by people who are not even aware they are infected. This is a problem as these ‘carriers’ of the virus, are continuing to visit public spaces and have physical contact with others. 

New studies show that the virus can survive on surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for up to 3 days. This means that the virus can be contracted by simply touching a door handle, railing, check-out screen, elevator button etc. infected by a sick person.
 

What Should You do to prevent the spread of COVID-19?

The greatest risk of infection is in healthcare facilities where people may be seeking COVID-19 testing or treatment. However, there is a risk of infection anywhere where people are in close proximity.
 
Make sure you are taking the necessary precautions in your workplace:
· Limit congregations and interactions to only those which are absolutely necessary
· Wear gloves
· Wear long-sleeved clothing
· Practice facial protection:
o wear surgical/procedural masks (only those which are fitted and do not openly let air in are effective)
o wear eye protection such as goggles, or surgical/procedural mask with visor attachment

Most importantly, handle potentially infected materials with care!

· Obtain the right supplies for disposal of any medical or other hazardous waste
· Dispose of sharps waste into puncture resistant containers
· Contain infection by disposing of bodily fluids, pharmaceuticals, gauze, etc. in the proper, Ministry of Environment approved receptacles
· Ensure that all biohazardous waste is promptly removed from your workplace

The Coronavirus, or COVID-19 is a contagious viral infection that has many people worried. This worldwide virus has the potential to have a huge impact on almost any industry in our current global economy. Here at GTARestortion.netⓇ, we have been flooded with questions and requests for information on how our technology could help contain this and other pathogens. We have put together few FAQ in order to help.
 
Have the equipment we use have been tested to be effective against viruses and bacteria?
 
Yes, the ability of OdoroxⓇ machines to kill viruses, bacteria, and mold was scientifically proven back in December 2014, when the OdoroxⓇ MDU/Rx machine was tested and approved by the FDA as a Class II Medical Device for use in occupied areas.
 
What data do you have to prove this?
 
These machines were tested at the Aerosol Research and Engineering Laboratories (ARE), an independent commercial laboratory that specializes in studying aerosolized microbiological organisms. These tests were performed on viruses, bacteria, and mold chosen by the FDA as some of the toughest. These viruses and bacteria were aerosolized in the test, mimicking the way they are often transmitted through actions like people coughing. They did this to obtain FDA approval for the OdoroxⓇ MDU/Rx machine. All of the tests had kill rates of between 4 and 5 log reductions (99.99% and 99.999%) within 2 hours: an exceptionally high (and fast) kill rate. If you want more data, we have detailed information documented by the Head of our Scientific Advisory Board on the independent microbiological laboratory testing that was performed.
 
Have these equipment been tested to be effective against the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, specifically?
 
No - this test in not perform at this time. Only the top national labs like the CDC and NIH can get samples of the Coronavirus so soon after an outbreak like this. Commercial labs are not equipped with the biosafety measures and containment protocols needed to test these types of viruses. However, one of the viruses included in the ARE laboratory testing was the MS2 virus, which is an excellent surrogate for the Coronavirus as both are positive-sense single-stranded RNA, or (+)ssRNA viruses. Based on this, we believe that the OdoroxⓇ MDU/Rx machine will be effective against the Coronavirus.
 
Which OdoroxⓇ machine is the best for killing viruses and bacteria?
 
The OdoroxⓇ MDU/Rx machine was the one tested and approved by the FDA as a Class II Medical Device for use in occupied areas. We have two other OdoroxⓇ machines that are built exactly the same as that unit but they are more powerful - they are the Oasis+ and the Boss machines. Any of those OdoroxⓇ machines, or the stronger XL3 machine, would be great assets to add to an infection control protocol that would also include things like spraying chemicals, wiping surfaces, and other effective disinfection methods.
 
How do the OdoroxⓇ machines work?
 
It’s incredibly easy: you just plug them in and turn them on. Our machines replicate the natural production of hydroxyl radicals to eliminate biological and chemical contaminants. These hydroxyls work on both the air and on surfaces while the spaces are occupied and in use. They can run 24/7, require very little labor, and leave little room for human error.
 
Where can these machines be used?
 
Our OdoroxⓇ Technology is ideal for any type of commercial building that has been or could be exposed to the Coronavirus, such as: apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, big box retailers, universities and schools, manufacturing and industrial warehouse facilities, hospitals, churches, theaters, airports, office buildings, government establishments, and many other high traffic public facilities.
 
They are safe to use while the building is occupied and in use.
 
Where can I get the OdoroxⓇ machines?
 
For rental information, please contact us directly and we will assist you.
 
24/7 Support to Keep You Safe and Healthy
 
Finally, it’s important to know that all of this accurate, scientific testing was done before the Coronavirus appeared - the power and abilities that our machines offer have been proven. In response to this global health crisis, and any that may come in the future, we are available 24/7 to answer your questions and provide help for you and your clients’ critical needs.
