The municipal company has replaced its regular pressure water cleaning with the use of sodium hypochlorite as a disinfecting base due to the sanitary recommendations against the expansion of COVID-19.
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a compound that can be used for surface purification, bleaching, odor removal and water disinfection.
With this compound, in the proportion dictated by Health, Limusa carries out, since the state of alarm decree, continuous flushing in areas of collective affluence such as health centers, pharmacies, as well as the environment of food shops (bakeries, greengrocers, butchers and supermarkets in general).
In the same way, it is disinfecting by means of pressurized water the urban furniture dependent on its services, such as manual and pedal-based garbage containers, underground mailboxes, selective units;
as well as the canopies and benches of the urban bus stops.
Internally, the public mercantile of the Lorca City Council carries out exhaustive cleaning and disinfection of the inescapably in-person municipal offices such as Statistics, Local Police, Civil Protection and medical offices open to the public 24 hours, which are cleaned daily and with reinforcement of personal.
The device applied to the disinfection of urban public transport deserves special attention, as it is the most prone to public use.
To sanitizing measures specific to worker safety such as distance signaling to the driver, empty first row of seats and free access to avoid metal transfer ... the protection of the user is added.
To this end, a comprehensive disinfectant treatment is applied at each start of the day, which includes both the driver's station and railings, handrails and seats.
And at every kilometer zero of the journey, all contact surfaces are cleaned again.
Other prophylactic measures put in place by Limusa include the free parking of San Vicente to avoid contact with coins during payment, as well as the liberation of the ORA space so that regulated parking is not an obstacle to unavoidable travel and leaves the citizen as close as possible to their destination.
