can be tracked via foot wear,and clothing into any environment. Folks who work with Poultry and Hogs know full well that disinfecting their shoes,boots and gloves as well as wearing protective outer coveralls is proper procedure in order to prevent Viral infections spreading from building to building.

Just amazed at how our Senior Centers and Nursing Homes have be decimated with this virus. Did these places completely throw away the rule book when it comes to Delivery and Service folks as well as visitors? As someone who called on these Centers in my B to B days,each and everyone that I called on would post notices if there was any type of Health related issue happening. Which would necessitate booties,mask,and Hair nets and if you had to return to your vehicle for something,well,you had to repeat the suit up procedure each and every time. And when it came to deliveries,procedures were in place to protect both the Food Prep Area as well as Coolers and Freezers as well as Residents from any possible contamination .
