Checklist to help businesses reduce the threat of a norovirus outbreak
Each year, up to 21 million Americans contract the highly contagious norovirus. With an estimated annual cost of $2 billion in lost productivity and healthcare expenses from foodborne norovirus alone, can your business afford an outbreaki? To help businesses reduce the spread, Cintas Corporation offers a norovirus cleaning checklist.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most important method for norovirus prevention is handwashing, followed by safe food handling and preparation, surface disinfection and proper laundering of soiled clothes and linensii.
"A norovirus outbreak can be devastating to a business's productivity, not to mention its reputation," said John Engel, Director of Marketing, Cintas. "Just because a surface looks clean, doesn't mean that it is. Cleaning with the correct products, on the correct surface with the correct cleaning solution is essential to reducing the chances of an outbreak."
To help businesses reduce the threat of an outbreak, Cintas offers the following norovirus cleaning checklist.
