Narrative:
My concern follows the global pandemic that is currently at hand (coronavirus) and the current cleaning processes that are taking place at the operations center that affects our health.1) X floor has had no disinfectant wipes now for two consecutive midnight shifts.2) only one hand sanitizer has been placed on X floor near the elevators; none anywhere else once you enter the doors.3) during midnight shifts on [date] and [date] I have seen the same building attendant use a rag on a stick to dust and clean all monitors; desks areas; and even the floors...without ever changing the rag. This cannot be sanitary or help impede the spread of the infectious virus.
