3. Have your ventilation and air conditioning system professionally cleaned. The accumulation of dust and particles in the filters is the ideal breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Regular cleaning of your system with commercially available antibacterial cleaning agents helps to clean the indoor air quality.

4. Ventilate your office in a natural way. Open the windows in areas with good outside air quality for 20 minutes a day to naturally ventilate your office.

5. Provide hand disinfectants to employees and encourage hand washing.

6. Wash the hard floors in the corners. Corners and edges are often lost, but it should be easy in areas with ground cover and bays.

7. Clean the walls of toilets and areas where hygiene is paramount. The walls with hygienic coating make it easy to clean the surfaces of the walls without excuses.
