Hi,

At these difficult times, it is of utmost importance to maintain high levels of cleanliness in the complex and around it. Not to mention safety due to expired smoke detectors as most of people are now constantly at home and risk of fire is increased.

Here are three examples of risks with Covid-19.

a) Maintenance staff put on notice boards personal opinion (backed by a comment from Dr. Norman Swan, Scottish Australian physician, journalist and broadcaster) about safety of swimming pool in regards to Covid-19 (attachment "SP52948-providing-personal-opinion-to-owners-on-notice-boards-about-swimming-pools-and-covid-19-risks-without-medical-background-23Mar2020.webp").

It is very dangerous to provide such advice without strong evidence:

World Health Organization (WHO) recommends level of 15mg.min/liter of chlorination in the pools. It said it is enough to kill all enveloped and non-enveloped viruses in the swimming pool.

Who is assigned duty to keep the register of DAILY levels of chlorination in our pool? Where is such register displayed? How does maintenance staff monitor it?

Before dipping in the pool proper personal hygiene is required, especially when everyone is at risk from just touching various surfaces like the changing benches, doors, and handles. How does maintenance staff monitor it?

Swimmers should be reminded to regularly shower before and after swimming in the pool and never forget to disinfect their hands after touching door handles in the area. How does maintenance staff monitor it?

Handwashing is also critical. Properly and thoroughly washing hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. How does maintenance staff monitor it?

Experts also highly advise the public to wash and maintain clean swimming kits and towels by using at least a high 60-degree wash to kill any bacteria or bugs. How does maintenance staff monitor it?

Until recently, swimming lessons with visitors outside of complex were silently allowed. How does maintenance staff monitor it?

b) Lot 158 quietly monitors cleanliness of common areas in the complex. One example is just seven meters away from the building manager's office, and about three meters away from EC members Mr. Moses Levitt and Mrs. Maureen MacDonald. Three photos from 21, 22, and 24 March 2020 show that dirty paper napkin has not been removed for four days so far.

c) Attachment "SP52948-dirty-railing-near-Block-A-and-townhouses-not-cleaned-for-three-days.webp" shows railing between Block A and townhouses not been cleaned for three days so far.

Please, take safety seriously.
