Employed cleaning protocols should ensure adequate sanitization in all environments, including quarantine/isolation/patient care areas, as well as all workspaces and quarters. All non-dedicated, non-disposable patient care medical equipment should be cleaned and disinfected according to manufacturer’s instructions and facility policies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has compiled a list of Disinfectants for Use against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
Doorway Management: Strategic opening and closing of doorways can prevent viral transmission. Opening high-flow doorways in hallways can reduce the number of high-touch surfaces in a facility, while closing the doors of individual office spaces can reduce cross-contamination of virus across office spaces. Doorway management approaches MUST consider operational security, facility security, safety, and privacy guidelines.
Note: Separate ventilation is important.
