    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if there is anyone in this group that was part of the development of the DHHS COVID-19 Infection prevention and control guidelines – June edition?
    I am seeking clarification regarding the cleaning requirements in section 9, specifically section 9.4 and 9.5 and which settings/clients these requirements relate to.
    We are getting conflicting information from different authorities / bodies as to whether cleaning is sufficient, or whether we should be cleaning & disinfecting after outpatient client consults.
    If anybody is able to assist, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
