Integrated Hygiene Management: CESCO’s ‘Virus Care Solution’ for a Post-Pandemic World
(Seoul = Yonhap News) – CESCO, a leading pest management and hygiene solutions provider, has unveiled its ‘Virus Care Solution,’ an integrated system designed to manage air, surface, and personal hygiene in multi-use facilities. The announcement, made on March 26, 2026, reflects a growing emphasis on preventative hygiene practices in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing recognition of infectious disease risks.
The company presented the next-generation hygiene management model at a seminar held at its headquarters in Gangdong-gu, emphasizing the need to shift from reactive disinfection to proactive prevention through a robust ‘sanitation infrastructure.’
A Four-Layer Integrated Hygiene Management System
CESCO’s Virus Care Solution is built around a ‘four-layer integrated hygiene management system’ that continuously addresses key infection routes: air, surfaces, and personal hygiene.
- Air Management: Utilizing ultraviolet (UV)-based air sterilization technology and air sterilization purifiers to reduce airborne viruses and bacteria in multi-use facilities, establishing a first line of defense against respiratory infections.
- Surface Management: Employing dedicated disinfectants and standardized processes to block the spread of contact infections on frequently touched surfaces like handles and tables.
- Personal Hygiene Management: Reducing the potential for cross-infection by strategically placing non-contact hand sanitizers and hand washing stations along movement lines, including restrooms and entrances.
- Professional Sterilization Management: Reducing hygiene blind spots through precise management using self-developed disinfectants, with professional consultants providing customized hygiene management systems based on pre-diagnosed risk levels for each space.
During the event, CESCO demonstrated the solution’s application in a simulation space replicating common multi-use facilities such as supermarkets, restaurants, and kitchens.
Expert Insights on Infection Control
Dr. Lee Nak-jun, an otolaryngologist, presented at the seminar, explaining the connection between infectious disease spread and the environment of multi-use facilities. He underscored the importance of prevention-oriented hygiene management.
A CESCO official stated, “In the approaching era of infection risk, it is essential to transition to a preventive system that pre-diagnoses and manages transmission routes rather than one-time disinfection. By consolidating 50 years of pest research and 20 years of virus response know-how, we will continue to develop integrated sanitation solutions that cover all areas of air, surface, and personal hygiene.”
