SteraMist Takes the Fight to the Coronavirus Worldwide - China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Israel and the United Kingdom - Seite 2

Similarly, TOMI was also easily able to deploy SteraMist in one of eight recent cases in Singapore, one of which included a professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS) upon realizing they were contagious with COVID-19. The Ministry of Health proceeded to take action to stop the spread of the virus on campus, with the university president calling on SteraMist to thoroughly disinfect the facility. SteraMist was used in high traffic areas, such as hand railings, lifts, and lift lobbies, and routine facility cleaning was increased from two times a day to four times a day. Quick response allowed for thorough disinfection and continued preventative measures to protect both students and staff at risk of contracting the virus.

Yaki Agam, CEO of CleanBit Ltd., TOMI’s partner in Israel, states, “Just recently, the eleven (11) Israeli passengers who were on the Diamond Princess cruise ship returned to Israel after being suspected of carrying the virus. Two passengers were confirmed to be infected, further transferring coronavirus to Israel. CleanBit was selected by the Ministry of Health and the Israeli government to disinfect the aircraft, ambulances, and buses in which the infected passengers arrived from the ship in Japan to the hospital in Israel.”

As of today, CleanBit is disinfecting the hospital isolation facility and the surrounding areas on a daily basis where infected passengers are currently staying. TOMI’s Israeli partner is on national alert to assist in an emergency situation by using SteraMist to disinfect in the event coronavirus might erupt nationwide.

Recently, agreements have been signed between CleanBit Ltd., the Ministry of Defense, and Magen David Adom (Israeli equivalent of the American Red Cross organization), including fire departments, airports, and two major hospitals for service with SteraMist disinfection assisting in stopping the spread of coronavirus.

TOMI’s CEO, Dr. Halden Shane, states, “This is only a snapshot of the continued efforts we are making to stop the spread of coronavirus worldwide. The strong demand for our SteraMist surface unit is rapidly depleting our inventory - although we have an ample supply of SteraMist BIT solution. Accordingly, in anticipation of this continuing demand, TOMI has placed orders with our manufacturer for additional surface units on an expedited basis, in an effort to meet both our short-term and long-term demand. This is a dangerous virus that may remain on surfaces for at least nine (9) days and should not to be underestimated. COVID-19 will most likely be with us for a long time, maybe years.”
