Im quite sure using colour coding is better signage.
Green for no infectious, yellow or orange for mild& mod and red is for very infectious. Maybe stickers or paintings.

Signage colour coded breaks down misunderstandings when multi cultures exist in the one setting, makes things clear. We have used beetles on doors, flowers, single large print words red and blue colour to clarify zones pictures of gowns each. Keep it simple, keep it bright put it everywhere, compliance is the aim. PPE is defence, communication and vigilance is strength.

Dear Clever People
I work in a residential aged care and am trying to convince my boss that having clear signage outside a potentially infectious or confirmed infectious residents room (ie on the door) is best practice.
All I can find is SHOULD on page 120 of the Aust Guidelines for Prevention & Control of Infection in Healthcare.
I appreciate any assistance re using any other information to support my argument.
Many thanks in advance
