The following pertains to COVID-19 clarification: Due to an observation and numerous questions; we would like to have some clarification regarding the procedures that affect technicians system wide regarding the spraying/fogging process. Cabin Deep Cleaning Procedure: What is our process regarding normal clean and a suspected COVID-19 incident? Is it the Deep Clean Process outlined in the Cabin Processing Manual? If a COVID-19 case is confirmed on the aircraft; is there any other measure we are taking? Spraying/fogging process? Various departments have posted information and have briefed their crews.The spraying/fogging process can accept various chemicals. What chemicals do we plan to use? We have been told at ZZZ; we will be using X chemical. We have concerns about aeration of this chemical with respect to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). It is our understanding that our company needs to notify and train personnel before introduction to the workforce. This informs technicians about the health risks associated with those chemicals. If our company plans on changing the chemicals utilized in the spraying/fogging process; will an effort be made to inform the various work groups? Are we currently utilizing the process at ZZZ?Quarantined planes: What is the process? Charter flights (Recovery flights): What is the process? We recommend the most stringent cleaning process!Gate Technicians: How are we going about to inform them of an inbound risk of COVID-19 infection aboard an aircraft? Any effort to discuss and train our workforce on expectations; health risks; and procedures would be helpful.
