Cleaning, disinfection and hand hygiene in schools has become more important than ever. School administrators are faced with challenges on how to protect the health, safety and well-being of students, teachers, staff, families and communities. The CDC states that schools are required to:
- Develop Your Plan
- Implement Your Plan
- Maintain Your Plan
Recommendations are based on CDC’s current knowledge of COVID-19 in the United States. The CDC guidance is meant to supplement – not replace – any state, local, territorial or tribal health and safety laws, rules and regulations with which schools must comply.
Why are Cleaning and Disinfection Important?
COVID-19 can be reduced and killed from surfaces, objects and hands if the right products are used correctly. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person to person, but it may also spread by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching your own mouth, nose or eyes. Cleaning and disinfecting can reduce the risk of spreading infection by reducing and killing germs on surfaces people frequently touch, according to the CDC.
Who Will Clean, How Often and Where?
Cleaning and disinfecting reduce the risk of spreading infection by removing and killing germs on surfaces people frequently touch. Consider cleaning and disinfecting more frequently at your school to reduce the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. It’s important to make a plan with staff and teachers to discuss obstacles to more frequent cleaning and disinfecting and ways to overcome them. If the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting or correctly cleaning and disinfecting is a concern for your school, then hiring a professional cleaning company is a solution.
