MEMO to our tenants regarding coronavirus
As Property Managers we work year-round to ensure our buildings are clean and safe for our Tenants and their Clients. During the worldwide outbreak of the Coronavirus we have been monitoring the spread closely and working with our partners to ensure we are doing our part to mitigate the effect on our community.
We are working with our janitorial staff to re-emphasize the importance of touchpoint disinfecting and adding additional cleaning measures. We have a plan in place should we require a large-scale disinfecting of any suite.
We want you to feel assured that we will continue to monitor the situation here in New Brunswick closely and are ready to adapt our procedures if required. It is also important to note that we are getting our information from trusted sources such as Health Canada, the province of NB, the World Health Organization and B.O.M.A Canada.
Our website will be updated with additional information, links to credible sources and printable resources.
The Virus & symptoms
The virus has been identified as a coronavirus (CoV) and has been named SARS-CoV-2 with the associated disease being called COVID-19.
The virus typically causes mild to moderate upper respiratory tract disease but can also cause more severe infections such as pneumonia. Mild illness includes the common cold and influenza-like illness. Severe illness includes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. High fever (101F/38.3C), cough, and breathing difficulties are likely to be in the initial symptoms when infected.
The incubation period is 2-11 days for the development of symptoms, people exposed may rapidly present symptoms of infection, but it may take up 2 weeks to show symptoms. Of those infected, many/most have had mild symptoms, which may resemble influenza-like illness.
Remember people with low or weak immune systems are at greater risk.
Transmission and Precautions
COVID-19 spreads when someone who has COVID-19 coughs or exhales they release droplets of infected fluid. Most of these droplets fall on nearby surfaces and objects - such as desks, tables or telephones. People could catch COVID-19 by touching contaminated surfaces or objects – and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. If they are standing within one meter of a person with COVID-19 they can catch it by breathing in droplets coughed out or exhaled by them.
Coronaviruses can live on surfaces from a few hours to a few days.
People who are sick with a cold or influenza-like symptoms should stay home for at least 24 hours after their fever subsides. Taking medicine to reduce the fever does not mean a person does not have a fever. A person should be without fever or from taking fever reducing medicine for 24 hours before returning to normal activities.
It is important to note that people with low or weak immune systems may not be able to fight the illness therefor it is vital that any person who presents influenza-like symptoms stay home to avoid infecting others.
Observe good infection prevention practices, especially in public buildings, including hand hygiene, surface cleaning and disinfection, respiratory hygiene, and social distancing.
Frequent hand hygiene is the single best way to prevent many diseases and is very helpful in preventing infection and diseases. Handwashing should be performed whenever hands are visibly soiled. Alcohol hand rubs with 60-70%+ alcohol will be effective against the virus.
Avoid or minimize contact with sick people, especially those with influenza-like (respiratory) infections.

Adelin Properties' Covid-19 Operations Plan
This plan was developed for our multi-tenant office buildings to provide guidance to our Tenants and their clients. We will monitor the situation in our area and adapt the plan as required.
Operations Plan
How we are helping to #plankthecurve
You might be wondering how a we – building managers – are tackling the safety and cleanliness of your buildings these days. You might not realize that how much effort goes into this all year long, and how much coordination of a variety of service providers it takes. But over the past 6 weeks it has become front and centre in our daily lives. We must balance the need for additional cleaning measures against the number of suppliers we want in our buildings (or have access to right now), the safety of our building occupants against the safety of our janitorial staff. We are fortunate to have incredible teams of suppliers surrounding us who provide great service and who are offering us some much-needed additional support during these times. But there are things we can all do to mitigate the spread of covid-19, as building occupants or visitors to any public space you too can help keep building staff and those around you safe:
