1.12 Temporary/additional services for disinfection/cleaning
1.12.1 Although infected individuals are the primary source of infection with COVID-19, the virus can survive on surfaces. Potential transfer of infectious material from surfaces could result in infection.
Handwashing and not touching the face are the primary recommended interventions.
Some sources suggest the virus can live for up to 9 days, but more likely about 48 hours. Colder, moister conditions appear to promote its longevity. The longer since the individual left the premises and the absence of bodily fluids decrease the risk.
1.12.2 Definitions include the following:
CDC. The US Centers for Disease Control.
Cleaning. A process for removing germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their number s and the risk of spreading infection.
COVID-19. The name for the illness caused by the novel corona virus that emerged in 2019. The virus is
SARS COV-2.
Disinfection. The process of killing germs on surfaces or objects. Dis infecting works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection.
Sanitizing. A process that lowers the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe le vel, as judged by public health standard s or requirement s. This process works by either cleaning or dis infecting surfaces or objects to lower the risk of spreading infection.
SARS-COV-2. The novel (newly discovered) virus that causes the COVID-19 illness.
112.3 TEMPORARY/ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR DISINFECTION/CLEANING:
Repeated Disinfection Services. Disinfection may be required to be repeated in the same areas or performed in other spaces in the facilities. The COR shall identify these spaces as described in 1.2.1. Contractor shall coordinate with the COR to provide these additional services. The COR shall order these services as needed basis. The Contractor shall include in its next regular invoice details of the temporary additional services and, if applicable, materials, provided and requested under temporary additional services. The Contractor shall also include a copy of the COR' s written confirmation for the temporary additional services.
Facilities (not housing individuals) with Suspected/Confirmed Coronavirus should follow the " Interim
Recommendations for US Community Facilities with Suspected/Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019" found here: https:// www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/organizatios/cleaningdisinfection.htm l . The guidance is to close off areas used by the ill persons and wait as long as practical (preferably 24 hours) before beginning cleaning and disinfection. All areas (e.g., offices, bathrooms, and common areas) used by the ill persons, focusing especially on frequently touched surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected.
Facilities with or without Suspected/Confirmed Coronavirus that house individuals overnight should follow the " Interim Guidance for Administrators of US Institution s of Higher Education" found here: https://www
.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/guidance-ihe-response.html and the guidance above. In areas
U.S. Embassy Belgrade 19RB1021Q0002 where ill persons are being housed in isolation, follow Interim Guidance for Environmental Cleaning and
Disinfection for U.S. Ho use holds with Suspected or Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019. This guidance advises focusing on cleaning and disinfecting common areas where staff/others providing services may come into contact with ill persons, but reducing cleaning and disinfection of bedrooms/bathrooms used by ill persons to as needed. Residences use d for homecare of Suspected/Confirmed Coronavirus case should follow "Preventing the Spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Homes and Residential Communities" found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-prevent-spread.html and the " Interim
Recommendations for US Household s with Suspected/Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019: at https
://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/comm unity/home/cleaning-disinfection.html
1.12.4 WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY INCLUDING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(PPE)
Worker PPE needs are driven primarily by the chemical disinfectants in use. Most definitely, PPE will include disposable impervious gloves. Additionally, if sprays are used, eye protection and protective clothing coverings are prudent. Work practices must minimize aerosolization of both soiling and any body fluids. In most cases, respiratory protection (e.g., N95 filtering facepiece respirators) will not be necessary.
Some guidance advises use of a mask however.
Gloves should be discarded after each cleaning /dis infection job. If reusable gloves are use d, those gloves should be dedicated for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces for COVID-19 and should not be used for other purposes. Consult the manufacturer ' s instructions for cleaning and disinfection products used. Workers should wash their hands immediately after gloves are removed.
Contractors should follow applicable standards to include:
Hazard Communication Standard (29 C FR 1910.1200). To train workers on the hazards of chemical products PPE Standard. Requiring select ion of PPE based on the hazards and training on proper use, care, and limitations of the PPE. Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134). If respiratory protection is used.
1.12.5 HOW TO CLEAN AND DISINFECT SURFACES
The Cleaning Requirements shall consist of:
Cleaning of soiled surfaces prior to disinfection. Cleaning methods shall prevent contact with individuals and aerosolization of the soiling.
Disinfection utilizing a product listed as being effective against the COVID-19 virus such as those listed here: Products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims.pdf. Diluted household bleach solutions, alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, and most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective. A bleach solution can be prepared by mixing 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water. Labeling shall be provided in advance to the COR. If the product is not specifically listed as effective, then labeling must be submitted to the COR for acceptance.
The Contractor shall follow the manufacturer ' s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products (e.g., concentration, application method and contact time, etc.).
Prior to starting disinfection work, check the containers of disinfectant for the shelf life date to ensure that it has not passed. Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser. This link contains additional excellent advice on use of disinfectants: http://npic.orst.edu/ingred/ptype/amicrob/covidl 9.html
Waste removal to include emptying all wastepaper baskets, and cleaning and disinfecting the waste receptacles, then replacing plastic wastepaper basket linings and returning items where they were located.
greater the amount of time lapsed since the departure of the individual, the better. Preferably wait at least 24
U.S. Embassy Belgrade 19RB1021Q0002 hours before cleaning and disinfection. This waiting period is not always practical.
If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
For soft (porous) surfaces such as carpeted floor, rugs, and drapes, remove visible contamination if present and clean with appropriate cleaners indicated for use on these surfaces. After cleaning:
Launder items as appropriate in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items and dry items completely, or
Use products with the EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims (examples at this linkpdf iconextemal icon) that are suitable for porous surfaces.
Always follow label directions on cleaning products and disinfectants. Wash surfaces with a general household cleaner to remove germs. Rinse with water, and follow with an EPA-registered disinfectant to kill germs. Read the label to make sure it states that EPA has approved the product for effectiveness against influenza A virus.
If a surface is not visibly dirty, you can clean it with an EPA-registered product that both cleans (removes germs) and disinfects (kills germs) instead. Be sure to read the label directions carefully, as there may be a separate procedure for using the product as a cleaner or as a disinfectant. Disinfection usually requires the product to remain on the surface for a certain period of time (e.g., letting it stand for 3 to 5 minutes).
Use disinfecting wipes on electronic items that are touched often, such as phones and computers. Pay close attention to the directions for using disinfecting wipes. It may be necessary to use more than one wipe to keep the surface wet for the stated length of contact time. Make sure that the electronics can withstand the use of liquids for cleaning and disinfecting.
Special cleaning and disinfecting processes, including wiping down walls and ceilings, frequently using room air deodorizers, and fumigating, are not necessary or recommended. These processes can irritate eyes, noses, throats, and skin; aggravate asthma; and cause other serious side effects.
Use standard procedures for handling waste, which may include wearing gloves. Place no-touch waste baskets where they are easy to use. Throw disposable items used to clean surfaces and items in the trash immediately after use. Avoid touching used tissues and other waste when emptying waste baskets. Wash your hands with soap and water after emptying waste baskets and touching used tissues and similar waste.
For clothing, towels, linens and other items that go in the laundry:
Wear disposable gloves when handling dirty laundry from an ill person and then discard after each use. If using reusable gloves, those gloves should be dedicated for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces for
COVID-19 and should not be used for other household purposes. Clean hands immediately after gloves are removed.
If no gloves are used when handling dirty laundry, be sure to wash hands afterwards.
If possible, do not shake dirty laundry. This will minimize the possibility of dispersing virus through the air.
Launder items as appropriate in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items and dry items completely. Dirty laundry from an ill person can be washed with other people's items.
Clean and disinfect clothes hampers according to guidance above for surfaces.
