Virus Busters: Protecting Building Residents From Flu, Norovirus, and Other Infectious Diseases

Cases of influenza have been steadily climbing this winter season, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting more than 15 million flu illnesses, 180,000 hospitalizations, and 7,400 deaths as of early January. The flu isn’t the only infectious disease making its rounds this winter, with norovirus, COVID-19, the common cold, and other illnesses spreading as well. Custodians, environmental services specialists, and facility managers must be prepared with efficient disinfection practices to protect inhabitants of the buildings they service. This free webinar presented by Cleaning & Maintenance Management (CMM) and ISSA Healthcare offers practical tips on how front-end workers can help stop the spread of disease-causing germs. During this fast-paced, one-hour interactive session, you will learn strategies to: • Predict which illnesses will be prevalent during specific seasons and set up methods to keep track of infection rates. • Ensure pathogen removal on surfaces through cleaning protocols and the use of effective cleaning and disinfecting products. • Reduce the airborne transmission of germs through ventilation practices to improve indoor air quality. • Choose technology and other tools to strengthen cleaning routines. • Promote effective handwashing and personal protective equipment use among staff and facility occupants. The expert panel for this webinar includes: • Kathleen Misovic (moderator), CMM Managing Editor • Sophia McCrae, Vice President of Operational Strategy, Crothall Healthcare • Rodney E.
