OUR FACILITIES
ARE ALSO INFECTED
In the same way that a patient or resident can become infected, our facilities should also be considered as THE NEW PATIENT, because surfaces within our facilities can have germs and in particular COVID-19 on its surfaces for up to 28 days.
CAUTION: Touchpoints in High Risk areas should be cleaned
with the best possible microfibre cloth, moistened correctly with a quality cleaner or disinfectant and disposed of before using a fresh cloth to clean the next area.
Our facility is considered THE NEW PATIENT
