How to manage a deep clean in a healthcare facility – Victoria

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
I am seeking DDHS information on management of cleaning and disinfection after a COVID-19 case in a healthcare setting.

I have a copy of How to clean and disinfect after a COVID-19 case in non-healthcare settings -19 Sept 2020

It appears that the information given to dental practices is quite different from the information in this document.

Appreciate any current requirements that are being placed on healthcare settings.

kind regards

Hi Glenda,

I would recommend you look at the following documents on the Victorian Department of Health’s website (here Department of Health and Human Services Victoria | Infection prevention control resources (dhhs.vic.gov.au):

* COVID-19 Infection prevention and control guidelines
* COVID-19 cleaning guidelines for workplaces (under cleaning tab)

Both provide very good advice regarding cleaning and disinfection after COVID-19 cases.

If you have any further queries, I recommend you contact the Infection Prevention and Control Advice and Response (IPCAR) team at the department via email COVID19InfectionControl@health.vic.gov.au .

Regards,
Donna

Hi Donna,
Thanks so much. You inspired me to go through each document and find out where the confusing document was.
I have emailed the IPCAR and asked them to consider removing it as it is out of date and causing confusion.

I also thing the newer COVID-19 cleaning guidelines are well written and helpful in a really practical way and congratulate the authors.

Thanks
Glenda
