Question?
What are the infection prevention measures in multi-use facilities?
answer>
For multi-use facilities, basic infection control such as hand sanitizer and employee mask wear is recommended, and guidelines are provided to thoroughly observe infection prevention measures for multiple events, so please refer to the guidelines.

 

Question?
What happens to the multi-facilities that the coroner 19 has visited?
answer>
※ See Corona virus infection-19 Disinfection Guide for Patients and Multi-use Facilities (Section 3-1).
Determine the disinfection range by identifying the movements of patients with Corona 19 and select the disinfection method.
If the route cannot be determined, prepare a disinfection plan by setting up targets and zones that are frequently used and contacted by the general public.
In the case of patient-free spaces (regions) within multi-facility, perform their own routine disinfection.
When disinfecting facilities used by patients with Corona 19, the space must be emptied and the time when the space can be used again depends on the disinfectants and ventilation methods used.
- After disinfection, the virus is wiped out, but considering the characteristics of the disinfectant used, sufficient ventilation is required before deciding to resume use.
However, if sodium hypochlorite (home-use-lax) is used, sterilize it and ventilate it until the next day in consideration of smell or danger, and use it the next day.

 

Question?
Can I get a package from abroad?
answer>
There are many things we don't know yet about the propagation path of Corona 19.
The coronavirus has different survival times on the environmental surface depending on the material, ambient temperature, and humidity conditions of the product's surface, and has been reported to be viable for several days, but has a very low risk of spreading from products or packaging shipped at room temperature for days or weeks.
The U.S. CDC says, "There is currently no evidence to support the spread of Corona 19 in relation to imported goods, nor has there been a case of Corona 19 in relation to imported goods."
We will provide you with new information as soon as it is announced.
