⚠ Public Health Alert

Measles Is Spreading. Is Your Facility Protected?

As of April 2026, the CDC has confirmed 1,714 measles cases across the United States, the highest case count in decades. Ninety-four percent are outbreak-associated, and 17 new outbreaks have been reported in 2026 alone. The CDC has issued a formal Health Alert Network notice urging facility and healthcare providers to stay vigilant.

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses known. It spreads through the air and can linger in a room for up to two hours after an infected person has left. Schools, childcare centers, clinics, veterinary offices, and any facility serving the public are at elevated risk.

CERI's SteraMist iHP technology is EPA-registered and proven effective against airborne and surface pathogens in exactly these environments. Contact us to discuss a proactive treatment plan for your facility.

Our COVID-19 Capability Statement

To Whom It May Concern  ·  April 2020

CERI Has the Solution for Rapid and Complete Decontamination

The COVID-19 pandemic has us all worried. How do we cleanse from our environment? This viral contagion travels through enclosed spaces in a slight puff of breath, or by the touch of a seemingly clean hand.

To remove it requires a disinfectant that can travel to every surface, every crack and crevice the virus can land on. Cleaning surfaces that are visible may seem like a good idea, but viruses cannot go to places COVID-19 can.

Critical Services has the solution for the rapid and complete decontamination of your aircraft and indoor spaces. We use a vapor that can travel to air conditioning systems, ducts, and many places human hands cannot reach, but the virus can. If your passengers and staff need protection from COVID-19 and other contagions, CERI uses the best available technology, procedures, and methods for eradicating these strains of viruses on surfaces.
