Innovation: Legislation to catch up

The covid pandemic has forced all of us to re-examine disinfection and sanitisation procedures. But what will a post-covid world look like? Will we simply forget the lessons of the recent past and go back to what we were doing before? Or will we strive to improve our processes to strengthen them and make them ready for the next global health emergency?

Laura Edgar is the managing director of Aura Infection Control, one of the UK’s leading experts in decontamination and cross-infection control. The company’s experience and wide range of decontamination solutions saw it playing a leading role in the UK’s response to the covid pandemic, and Laura says the pandemic has been a wake-up call for the world, commenting, “It has been a stark reminder of the importance of cross-infection control and how important environmental cleaning, and even something as simple as good hand hygiene, is to manage the spread of disease.”
