Earlier this year, Lysol and the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) forged a strategic partnership aimed at bolstering its “Disinfect to Protect” mission. The cooperation reaffirms Lysol’s commitment to PRC as the non-profit continues to protect vulnerable communities by breaking down the chain of infections and ensuring everybody is protected from COVID-19 and other known illnesses.
Lysol is encouraging the general public to support PRC by donating to the COVID-19 Samaritan’s Fund to make COVID-19 testing available to the most susceptible and vulnerable communities. As consumers, we can also adopt Pula, PRC’s adorable bear, which can be owned in a special Christmas bundle pack consisting of two (02) units of 340g Lysol Disinfectant Spray.
For every purchase of this special holiday-themed pack, Lysol hopes to create further awareness of the efforts undertaken by PRC. This special Lysol holiday-themed pack makes an excellent gift for friends and family, reminding them to always practice good hygiene to Disinfect to Protect.
The worthwhile initiatives come at the heels of Lysol’s PHP36M donation to PRC for the construction of a molecular laboratory in Cagayan de Oro City and towards the strengthening of COVID-19 mass testing among vulnerable groups in the country. The facility, located at the Capitol Compound in CDO, has passed the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine’s (RITM) proficiency test in September this year.
Equipped with two (02) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machines that can process up to 2000 tests per day, the facility is in operation since 19 September 2020 after receiving its accreditation as a certified COVID-19 testing center. With this latest development, more people in the region can now get the COVID-19 test they need so that they can feel better assured about their safety when returning to work.
With the ongoing pandemic, Lysol cannot stress enough about the importance of disinfecting the home and the workplace, frequently-touched surfaces, by using their superior line of products: from disinfectant sprays to multi-action cleaners — tested that has been proven effective against the COVID-19 virus. In addition, Lysol also stresses the importance of proper handwashing, another effective line of defense against viruses.
Let us all do our share in contributing towards the meaningful Disinfect to Protect mission.
