Sponsored by the Taichung City Environmental Protection Bureau
With the continued spread of Covid-19, Taichung City Government Environmental Protection Bureau recently promoted its “5055 Sterilization Method”, which has earned a positive public response. In cooperation with this effort, village chiefs from Xitun District’s He Chang Village, West District’s An Long Village and Wufeng District’s Wan Feng Village immediately filmed demonstration videos, teaching residents how to prepare a sterilization solution, showing them how to thoroughly clean interiors and wipe off office objects with the solution, and reminding everyone that sterilizing the environment helps reduce the risk of virus spread.
Xitun District He Cheng Village Chief Tian Gui-yu said that it’s important to protect the health of all villagers through virus preventative measures when they visit the office. Thus, she uses the “5055 Sterilization Method” daily to clean the office. West District An Long Village Chief Lai Liang-song noted that as soon as the “5055 Sterilization Method” advocacy film was released, he immediately cleaned his hotpot shop. In order to protect customers’ safety and cooperate with the government’s no-dining-in policy, all customers picking up food orders need to leave their contact information through registration and text messages via the 1922 hotline. Lai encourages everyone to maintain a safe social distance, spray alcohol on both hands before entering his shop, and wear masks at all times. He also sterilizes his shop 2-3 times daily to maintain a healthy environment.
Wufeng District Wan Feng Village Chief Lin Li-cheng exhorted the public to work together for pandemic protection by sterilizing frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, shoe cabinets, tables and chairs. Everyone should use the “5055 Sterilization Method” to wipe these surfaces in order to achieve a safe environment.
The Taichung Environmental Protection Bureau director thanked all of the enthusiastic village chiefs for helping to promote such measures and filming the demonstration videos. He expressed hope that residents can learn to make and use sterilization solutions via these simple steps: Create a 1:50 bleach-water solution using common household bleach. Soak cleaning cloths in it for five minutes. Wipe the surface of frequently touched objects once every five hours to reduce the risk of virus spread indoors and prevent contact-related infection. Finally, leftover bleach solution should be exposed to the sun for a period of time, allowing it to break down naturally before being poured down the drain, in order to avoid a direct discharge into waterways that might cause ecological damage.
Taichung’s Environmental Protection Bureau noted that the Covid-19 virus is mainly transmitted through contact between people. Since masks are usually not worn at home, indoor spaces offer higher risks for transmission than outdoor environments, making indoor environment sterilization an absolute key to successful pandemic prevention. It is hoped that citizens will “wash hands, sterilize, wear masks at all times, and avoid going to any gatherings”. These four key points of pandemic prevention will help get us through these challenging times together!

新冠肺炎疫情持續延燒，台中市政府環境保護局日前推出的防疫「5055消毒法」深獲好評，西屯區何成里、西區安龍里及霧峰區萬峰里等3位里長率先響應，透過拍攝影片向里民遠距教學，親自示範自製居家簡易消毒水，並仔細擦拭里辦公處及室內環境中容易用手碰觸到的物體表面，呼籲市民一起動手落實室內環境消毒，減少疫情傳播風險。
西屯區何成里里長田貴玉指出，目前防疫優先，為維護洽公里民健康，已運用「5055消毒法」每日定期針對里辦公處室內環境消毒。西區安龍里里長賴梁松說，「5055消毒法」宣導影片一發布後就馬上運用在自家經營的火鍋店，現階段配合台中市餐飲業禁止內用政策，僅提供實名(聯)制外帶服務，除要求客人完成「1922 簡訊實聯制」登記作業、保持適當社交距離、入店前酒精消毒、佩戴口罩等防疫措施外，店內也搭配自製消毒水每天定時消毒2-3次，維護自身及客人健康。
霧峰區萬峰里里長林麗真則呼籲防疫大家一起來，尤其是門把、鞋櫃、茶几、餐桌、座椅是手或身體最常碰觸的地方，利用「5055消毒法」自製簡易消毒水定時擦拭這些物品表面，就可以達到很好的消毒效果，安全又有效。
環保局長陳宏益指出，感謝熱心里長協助推廣並同步拍攝教學影片向里民宣導，希望市民都能學會自製簡易消毒水，掌握「5055」口訣，以一般市售漂白水稀釋50倍，抹布浸泡5分鐘，每5小時擦拭1次常碰觸到的物體表面，就可以降低病毒在室內傳播污染風險，杜絕接觸傳染;另使用後殘餘髒污的漂白水，建議可以在陽光下靜置一段時間，讓其自然分解後再倒入排水孔，以避免直接排入河川而影響生態。
環保局表示，新冠肺炎病毒傳染途徑以人群接觸為主，在家一般都會脫下口罩，室內空間比室外環境傳播風險更高，室內環境消毒絕對是防疫成功的關鍵，希望市民掌握「常洗手、勤消毒、口罩不離口、聚會別找我」防疫四大重點，一起度過疫情難關。
