An increased hygiene and frequent disinfection of premises are one of the basic preventive measures to combat the spread of coronavirus.

As there is a shortage of these products on the market, the production of own disinfection started in March by the SLOVNAFT Group in the subsidiary VURUP. Its current production capacity makes it possible to provide part of the disinfection even where it is most needed.

Slovnaft donates 1,000 liters of Slovnaft Hygi Fluid disinfectant to sites that need to be protected from the risk of disease every day. Healthcare facilities, social service facilities, non-profit organizations or self-governments can all apply for disinfection for the purpose of disinfecting public areas through www.slovnaftludom.sk. The disinfection is then divided according to the requirements and agreed to take over.

'The donation of disinfection that we started to produce in Slovnaft complements our previous activities by which we help to manage the current crisis in Slovakia. Immediately after the outbreak of the pandemia, we bought lung ventilators for hospitals, introduced free-of-charge coffee for healthcare professionals at gas stations, and now we want to protect all those at risk with our products. Disinfectants are among the most wanted in demand, as evidenced by the huge demand across the region. Therefore, we want to ensure that disinfection reaches key public areas and we donate it every day to healthcare facilities, retirement homes or institutions or organizations that provide public space,' said CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of SLOVNAFT, a.s., Oszkar Vilagi.

Slovnaft Hygi Fluid is a universal disinfectant for both surfaces and skin. The product is registered for normal use by the competent authorities.

Slovnaft is currently using disinfection for cleaning its own premises as well as at service stations. Disinfection was secured also for the Bratislava City Hall, which subsequently divided it into city facilities for seniors, organizations working with homeless people, city districts and cleaning of public transport vehicles. Slovnaft also provided disinfection to healthcare professionals, such as the National Cancer Institute, the Center for Interventional Neuroradiology and Endovascular Treatment and to the Emergency Line 155 (Operational Centre of the Emergency Medical Service of the Slovak Republic).

During April, the disinfection Slovnaft Hygi Fluid will gradually reach its wider sale within the network of Slovnaft service stations.

The disinfection is also produced by the parent company of Slovnaft, the MOL company, as well as INA in Croatia. All three companies belonging to the MOL Group aim to support the fight against the spread of coronavirus, protection of employees and maintaining supply reliability.
