The COVID-19 Monitoring Committee set up in Orihuela, and under the direction of the Department of Emergencies, met recently with the heads of the Department of Urban Cleaning, Dámaso Aparicio, and Infrastructure, Ángel Noguera, as well as technicians of the corresponding departments.
In the meeting the disinfection plans for different areas of the municipality have been formalised. These include pavements and entrances to supermarkets and grocery stores, Renfe Station and bus platform, canopies, entrances to medical centres, pharmacy doors, around health centres, municipal buildings with customer service, etc. In short, all those areas capable of bringing together several people at any given time, who go to those centres or establishments which have been declared essential.
Specifically, four medium-capacity water tanks, two high-pressure washers and three large-capacity tanks will take to the streets to carry out these tasks. These will carry out the foundation work of cleaning with water. Subsequently, twelve teams of two people with sanitation backpacks have been formed, and these will carry out the disinfection on the previously cleaned area.
The Department of Urban Cleaning and Street Cleaning began last week with the disinfection of containers and litter bins throughout the municipality.
