It's important for us to note that in cleaning procedures, we may actually exacerbate or worsen the problem. We may take contamination from one area and spread it all over the vessel. We know that this is something we do not want to do.
Vacuuming should not be done on a public vomiting event. If it needs to be done, it should be done after the vomit has been cleaned up and the area has been thoroughly disinfected with appropriate disinfectant at the correct contact time.
- Showerheads. It is a requirement to disinfect showerheads every six months. This disinfection is primarily intended to prevent the growth of legionella
