Manitoulin Health Centre Battling COVID-19

Little Current/Mindemoya, ON - The Manitoulin Health Centre (“MHC”) is proud to announce the newest addition to its equipment arsenal.

Recently, MHC purchased two ultraviolet-C (“UVC”) Light System Towers; one is in service at the Little Current site due to MHC’s pandemic plan and the other has recently been received at the Mindemoya site and will be placed into service shortly.  As sited by the FDA, UVC radiation is a known disinfectant for air, water, and nonporous surfaces. UVC radiation has effectively been used for decades to reduce the spread of bacteria. For this reason, UVC lamps are often called "germicidal" lamps.

According to an official from Sanuvox, the manufacturer, these disinfection units provide 99.99% disinfection of SARS-COV-2 (COVID 19) in less than 2 minutes of exposure time within a radius of 3 meters around the units.  

Both sets of UVC lamps will supplement existing practices and represent an extra level of “sanitization” to further battle COVID-19 and other virus’ or bacteria.   

Lynn Foster, CEO of MHC says “In addition to the many safety protocols that MHC has put in place to keep our staff, patients and their loved ones safe, MHC is pleased to be able to further integrate this technology within its operations.”  

The MHC Team would like to thank their Housekeeping co-workers for continuing to keep our facilities clean and safe contributing to the overall health of our Manitoulin community.
