About Coronavirus: What You Need to Know
Steri-Clean® Maryland / Delaware has the only effective protocol and training to ELIMINATE the viruses from any environment. Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that affects the respiratory tract and is spread with person to person contact.
Symptoms: According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reported illnesses have ranged from people with little to no symptoms to people being severely ill and dying. Symptoms may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 after exposure. Symptoms can include: fever, cough and shortness of breath.
Prevention & Treatment

• Wash your hands 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 eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
• Avoid close contact with people who appear to be sick

Infection Control | Superbug Cleanup Steri-Clean® Maryland / Delaware
Superbugs are resistant to the antibiotics and medications used to treat the infections they cause. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, antibiotic-resistant viruses infect 2.8 million people and lead to approximately 35,000 deaths in the US every year. It is this resistance and the rapid rate at which they spread that makes these superbugs so very dangerous. Superbugs can also vary in scale, and include anything from a mild urinary tract infection to deadly septicemia. So how do superbugs spread? There are many ways, but the most common include:
-
Blood transfusions
-
Close contact with bodily fluids
-
Sexual intercourse
-
Skin-to-skin contact
Important Ways To Prevent Infection
As we’ve learned from the Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, preventing infection is one of the most crucial ways to fight against it. This involves practicing regular strict hygiene practices that include:
-
Regularly washing the hands with warm water and soap
-
Dry your hands completely after washing them
-
Avoiding coughing or sneezing into your hands, use the crook of your elbow instead
-
Wash your hands properly after handling raw animal products
-
Cooking foods to safe temperatures, which can help kill any germs present
-
Washing the hands after interacting with someone who is sick, or avoiding contact altogether, if possible
What Are The 5 Most Common Superbugs?
-
Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE): Normally found within our guts, CRE is known to cause life-threatening blood infections and is resistant to antibiotics.
-
Neisseria Gonorrhoeae: While the STD gonorrhea is easily treated with a course of antibiotics, Neisseria Gonorrhoeae is becoming more and more resistant to them.
-
MRSA: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body and is both antibiotic-resistant and life-threatening.
-
Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter: Acinetobacter Baumannii is a rapidly emerging pathogen in healthcare settings that cause infections such as bacteremia, pneumonia, and meningitis.
-
Clostridium Difficile (C.diff): C. diff is a bacteria found in your intestines that can cause severe stomach problems (including diarrhea) and if too much of it occurs in the body it can be resistant to treatments and therefore fatal.
