The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic caught the world by surprise. It forced every economic sector to make cleaning and disinfecting greater priorities and caused demand for products officially recognized as COVID19-effective to skyrocket. It also created an opportunity for companies to use custom formulation to meet their own customers’ needs.

A variety of factors influence the operational decisions a company makes. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, cleaning and disinfecting practices have become high priorities, and sourcing the right chemical solutions has become critical. Custom Formulation is one way to ensure the most effective solution delivers the best results, despite the specific conditions that might exist.

Keeping workplaces clean and disinfected to protect employees from the threat of COVID-19 is essential. But when it comes to public settings, where large numbers of individuals might congregate, the challenge is significantly greater. However, with enhanced cleaning routines using only disinfectants recognized as effective, the task is very much achievable.

Surrey, BC – INTECH in cooperation with Velocity Chemicals Ltd. has announced the launch of SteriWipes Virucidal Wipes, a new easy-to-apply surface disinfecting and sanitizing cleaning product that is Health Canada-approved as likely effective against the spread of novel coronavirus.

For the travel and tourism industry, the introduction of travel restrictions has placed commercial vehicle operators in a difficult position. But Transport Canada’s COVID-19 guidelines for fleets and drivers have helped operators respond in the best way to keep fleets and drivers on the road.

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the travel and tourism industry hard. But while recovery is expected over time, how we travel, whether internationally or domestically, is not likely to return to the way it was. So what long-term changes have the COVID-19 pandemic made to travel?
