The CDC estimated COVID-19 was growing in all 50 states in summer 2026. What should coworking spaces, where strangers share desks and meeting rooms, prepare?
NBC Boston, citing TODAY, reported on 18 August 2026 that the CDC estimated COVID-19 cases were growing in all 50 states, and WastewaterSCAN found August virus concentrations up 106% from July.
XFG.1.1 was dominant. Experts advised testing when symptomatic and staying home until symptoms improve and you've been fever-free for 24 hours without medication.
Coworking spaces rotate members from many companies through hot desks, meeting rooms and shared kitchens daily, and operators can't know who is ill. Wipe points on every desk, a stay-away policy for the symptomatic and fogging when closed are needed.

If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Q: How long should you stay home with COVID? A: Experts advise staying home until symptoms improve and you've been fever-free for 24 hours without fever reducers.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
The US shows COVID still comes in waves. Systematically clean coworking spaces are where members choose to stay.
