The New South Wales Government will hire up to 3000 cleaners to ensure the public transport network is safe for schoolchildren and commuters as the pandemic restrictions are loosened. The announcement comes after companies providing specialised decontamination and disinfection cleaning are booming during the pandemic.
Whizz Cleaning has reported a 160 per cent boost in business over the last two months and will hire an extra 1000 employees to meet demand.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters this morning hundreds had already been employed for “deep level of cleaning” on buses, trains and other modes of transport in preparation for the easing of the lockdown.
