VIDEO: Infection Prevention Lessons From 2021, Predicting the Pandemic’s End

GBAC infection-prevention experts discuss what the industry learned about cleaning protocols in 2021, how we can do better in the future, and when the pandemic might end

What has the cleaning industry learned as it transitioned from the first pandemic year to the second? In this episode of BioTalk, a GBACtv production, learn the details about what went well and what didn’t in 2021, and what we as an industry need to know right now.

Infection prevention experts Patty Olinger, the executive director of the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), a division of ISSA, and Dr. Paul Meechan, the former head of safety with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and who now serves on the GBAC scientific advisory board, discuss these topics with ISSA Media Director Jeff Cross.

This webcast also digs into the science and the layered support when it comes to cleaning, disinfection, and air purification, and how the omicron variant shouldn’t be considered just another type of “cold”.

Olinger and Meechan also discuss the possibility of the end of the pandemic.
