Dear All,
Staff are having issues with handling medical records that have been in covid positive patient rooms, does anyone have advice about the time covid fomites live on paper?
How are you dealing with paper based medical records?

Hi Betty
We don’t allow paper records into Transmission Based Precaution rooms anymore, so generally notes are not considered contaminated.
If a paper record has to enter a room (eg MMSE which the patient has to write on), we get the paper sheet placed into a plastic sleeve, the plastic sleeve is wiped over with a detergent/disinfectant wipe, sealed with tape on removal from the room, and then placed in the medical record.
All our paper records are now scanned on discharge, so the scanners will wear gloves to remove from the sleeve, and then scan and place back into the sleeve for storage.
I think the principles of how we do this should work for you.
Cheers
