Zoono Services Selected by OnPharm-United to Provide Surface Protection to Their Network of Independent Pharmacies

TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2020 /CNW/ - Zoono Services, North America's leader in Environmental Cleaning and Infection Control is pleased to announce that it has been selected by OnPharm-United to service their hundreds of independent pharmacy members across Ontario by providing ongoing surface protection for their locations mitigating risk of infection transmission from high-touch areas. Zoono Services will be providing an affordable monthly surface treatment program to OnPharm-United members.

OnPharm-United is a pharmacy buying, support and advocacy group dedicated to furthering the interests of independent pharmacists.

Designed to be applied to a surface on a thirty-day cycle, Zoono Microbe Shield creates an active antimicrobial barrier effective against germs, bacteria, mold and fungi. Zoono, after drying, leaves behind a mono-molecular layer that bonds to the surface, inhibiting the colonization and growth of harmful microbes. Zoono is a unique, water-based product that covalently bonds to a surface and forms a barrier of positively charged microscopic pins that attract and pierce negatively charged microbes, rupturing their cell walls and mitigating contamination. Companies around the world are now recognizing that protecting surfaces in this manner greatly reduces the potential for surface transmission and is more cost-effective. Unlike traditional products used in the janitorial and sanitization industries, Zoono does not need to be reapplied constantly.

"We are very proud to be working with this important community of health care providers, and know that as traffic increases to their locations during the winter months, heightened infection control is paramount to ensure the safety of our integral front-line pharmacists and customers," said Neil Lathangue, CEO, Zoono Services Inc. "We are grateful to them for their service to ensuring our health, and pleased that Zoono Services is able to help safeguard theirs.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the importance of effective and long-lasting surface protection solutions to protect our members, their staff and their patients, said Sherif Guorgui, co-CEO OnPharm-United.

"As we brace for continued increased traffic during the coming months, particularly with flu shots and COVID-19 testing being offered at a large number of participating pharmacies, it was prudent that we seek protection solutions options for our members."
