Have you ever been to Singapore?

Have you ever travelled to Singapore and noticed how clean the city and facilities are? I remember walking through an airport and hotel and being followed by a cleaner who cleaned every surface that I had touched.

It’s no surprise to me that from the reports we are seeing, this country has had lower levels of cross-contamination when it comes to COVID-19.

Something to think about when we are all doing our best to stop the spread of COVID-19. To raise the standard to having hygienically clean surfaces, we need to be more vigilant when it comes to keeping our TouchPoints clean.
