From March 31, 2020, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Terminal 2 has put into use high-temperature steam sterilizers in the toilet area of the international area. This is another new measure taken by Baiyun Airport to prevent the import of overseas epidemics and increase disinfection work.
Baiyun Airport Terminal 2 introduced new high-temperature sterilization equipment to clean dead corners of the public toilets and improve the disinfection efficiency of public areas in the terminal. This machine generates a high temperature of 120-150 degrees steam, through the water flow within 10 to 15 seconds, and performs 360-degree disinfection of all toilet facilities and places that cannot be disinfected normally.
The passengers and staffs of the flight said, that it is a public area after all, and disinfection measures must be taken. In the past, disinfection was done by wiping with a disinfectant, which was very slow. It used to take two hours to clean a public toilets, but now it only takes 15 minutes.
Airport staff said that Baiyun Airport, as the "southern gate" of the motherland, faces the risk of imported epidemics from abroad. Upgrading "overweight" sterilization and disinfection measures is the top priority of epidemic prevention.
The Baiyun Airport Service Management Department stated that our airport has upgraded its disinfection work. Large-scale cleaning mainly uses washing machines, and disinfectant is added to the original cleaning fluid. High-temperature steam sterilizers are used for dead spots that cannot be reached by large washing machines. All work is for the safe travel of passengers.
