Last Updated: July 22, 2020
I am interested in knowing what efforts are being made to deal with the Coronavirus exposure accessing homes in multistory buildings such as high rises in New York City. How are we controlling social distancing in Elevators. What regulations are in place to control contamination for owners of apartments, condominiums, and business’s? It is no wonder contamination is higher in large cities. People are living on top of each other.
Can you please reply to me with your knowledge and thoughts.
