Understanding Bird Flu (Avian Influenza)
Avian influenza, commonly referred to as bird flu, is a highly contagious viral infection that primarily affects birds but can occasionally infect humans. The virus spreads through direct contact with infected birds, contaminated surfaces, or airborne particles in some cases. Symptoms in humans include fever, cough, sore throat, and in severe cases, respiratory distress.
PUIRI provides specialized cleaning services to address potential bird flu contamination, ensuring your space is safe and free from harmful pathogens.
Understanding COVID-19
COVID-19 is a novel strain of the coronavirus family, first reported in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. It primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The virus can also survive on surfaces for varying durations, making thorough disinfection critical.
Common symptoms of COVID-19 include:
• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
In severe cases, COVID-19 can cause pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, and other life-threatening complications, particularly in individuals with underlying health conditions.
Understanding Norovirus
Norovirus, often called the “stomach flu,” is a highly contagious virus that spreads through contaminated surfaces, food, or water. It causes symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Our services are tailored to mitigate norovirus contamination, especially in high-risk areas like schools and food service establishments.
Understanding Influenza (Flu)
Influenza viruses, including seasonal flu strains like H1N1, spread through respiratory droplets and contaminated surfaces. Symptoms include fever, cough, muscle aches, and fatigue. Our disinfection services help reduce the risk of flu outbreaks in residential and commercial settings.
Understanding Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
RSV is a common virus that affects the respiratory tract, particularly in young children and older adults. It spreads through droplets and surfaces. Symptoms include congestion, coughing, and difficulty breathing. PUIRI provides specialized cleaning services to combat RSV in homes, daycares, and nursing facilities.
Understanding MRSA
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria resistant to many antibiotics. It spreads through direct contact with infected wounds or contaminated surfaces. MRSA can cause skin infections and more severe health issues. Our hospital-grade disinfection process ensures the safe removal of MRSA from your environment.
