How we beat Norovirus in Schools

Here at Clean30 we have continuously helped to keep the country as clean as we can and to the highest possible standard.

The jobs which we are called into more than likely will involve a certain level of risk for the staff however as a team we understand this. Our staff are experienced and highly trained as well as all eager to make a difference in the workplace. If you're looking for help especially due to the ongoing pandemic you'll want a team of specialists with a high amount of experience to help.
Although it’s not the same condition at all, the Clean360 team has experience in handling pandemic outbreaks. Our most recent run-in with a condition like this involved the norovirus outbreak that hit the school system dramatically hard.

Symptoms of the norovirus

• Feeling sick (Nausea)
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• High temperature
• Headache
• Achy arms and legs

Why is the Norovirus more prevalent in schools?

• The virus is a highly contagious stomach bug which can be spread through simply touching a person or surface.
• Young children tend to have little knowledge on the spread of germs therefore it is massively spread throughout schools.
• Due to the bug being passed on so easily children must remain away from school for 48 hours in order to prevent the spread.
• Children tend to catch and pass on this particular virus more often than adults.

Primary and secondary schools play a vital role in our country, giving us the tools that we need to thrive later on in life. When the norovirus bug hit and was causing many children conditional problems, it was time to step in. By using the most thorough of deep cleaning processes, we made sure that nothing was taken for granted. When it comes to children, we can never be too careful when it comes to their help. That’s why we were so useful to schools who were facing the norovirus outbreak.

By using a deep cleaning program, we make sure that we could clean up the entire facility and keep every part of the school open for business. We look to do everything that we can to avoid any kind of closure, which is why our norovirus team will work around the clock to ensure that closures can be avoided. Children need their education, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get their education ASAP.

Deep cleaning is necessary in schools

Schools must be thoroughly cleaned using the right disinfectant solutions and equipment in order to make the illness subside and the conditions to calm down. We made sure that in the circumstances we would allow schools to continue to operate instead of closing down. To do this, we had to make sure we had a process which allowed us to go through every part of the school cleaning every possible surface top to bottom. We used a range of disinfectants as well as solutions which helped to kill the virus. We also took advantage of our high end cleaning equipment to assist us with cleaning every part of the school. We were able to reduce numbers of outbreaks massively by sterilising various locations successfully.

For any school, deep cleaning can be essential to making sure that they stayed well within their health and safety policy. Deep cleans are an essential part of health and safety policies even more so during a virus outbreak which can be spread needlessly.This is a big reason why deep cleaning in schools is necessary. By taking norovirus seriously and acting fast we made a difference swiftly which resulted in numbers being massively reduced within schools.
