To help with prevention, we are taking the following precautionary measures to protect our Customers:

We are closely monitoring daily updates and recommendations from the CDC.

Asking our Customers the following questions before entering your home:

Do you have a fever, cough or shortness of breath?

Have you traveled outside of Canada within the two past weeks?

Are you self-isolating due to Covid-19?

We won't be shaking hands for the time being as recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada

Keeping an appropriate recommended social distance from each other

Staying up to date on Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) updates and following all guidance.

Latex gloves are being worn by all staff when appropriate for the task.

We are sanitizing our service trucks and tools.

We sanitize our work area in your home when our job is completed.

We are increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting our office and warehouse.

We are making a concerted effort to emphasize to our entire staff the importance of thorough hand washing.

This means fronts, backs, wrists, and between fingers for at least twenty seconds with hot water at each washing.

Team members have also been instructed not to come to work if they experience fever or other flu-like symptoms.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) recommends that we all take the following everyday precautionary measures to help prevent the spread of germs and viruses:

Wash your hands thoroughly and often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer

Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose and mouth

Avoid close contact with people who are sick

Stay home when you are sick

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

Cover your mouth and nose with your arm when coughing and sneezing

Avoid all non-essential travel

Thank you for doing your part to help keep our communities safe, and for supporting one another as we navigate through this difficult time together.

CDC

Perform routine environmental cleaning:

Routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and doorknobs. Use the cleaning agents that are usually used in these areas and follow the directions on the label.

No additional disinfection beyond routine cleaning is recommended at this time.

Provide disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces (for example, doorknobs, keyboards, remote controls, desks) can be wiped down by employees before each use.

Surfaces

If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.

For disinfection, diluted household bleach solutions, alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, and most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective.

Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:

5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or

4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

For all workers, regardless of specific exposure risks, it is always a good practice to:

Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. When soap and running water are unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands that are visibly soiled.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Public Health Canada

How coronavirus spreads

Human coronaviruses cause infections of the nose, throat and lungs. They are most commonly spread from an infected person through:

Respiratory droplets generated when you cough or sneeze

Close, prolonged personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands

Touching something with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose or eyes before washing your hands

Current evidence suggests person-to-person spread is efficient when there is close contact.

Hygiene

Proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of infection or spreading infection to others:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the washroom and when preparing food

Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available

When coughing or sneezing:

Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand

Dispose of any tissues you have used as soon as possible in a lined waste basket and wash your hands afterwards

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands

Clean the following high-touch surfaces frequently with regular household cleaners or diluted bleach (1 part bleach to 9 parts water):

Toys

Toilets

Phones

Electronics

Door handles

Bedside tables

Television remotes
