High Tech Sanitizing in High Touch Areas
In response to efforts to stop the spread of the Novel COVID-19, NYCHA’s federal government-approved contractor, Eastco, is sanitizing all of NYCHA’s 71 seniors-only buildings.
NYCHA utilizes two disinfecting agents, one of which, is a hospital-grade disinfecting spray that kills viruses, and the second agent when applied to surfaces serves as a protective barrier. Combined, the two agents are an effective disinfectant against the coronavirus and other viruses and microbes.
Please click here for an informative video and more information on the disinfectant agents being used.
