COVID-19 Cleaning Instructions
The best practice is to follow your facility policies. The Norton County Hospital IP nurse recommends routine cleaning. Some of the products others are using are Virex Plus, Virex 256, Fusion and Oxycide. You can also make your own bleach solution. For more information, go to the KDHE, OSHA and CDC websites. I am attaching the website from EPA that has a list of disinfectants that are acceptable for SARS that we are being told to follow: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2.
