Good Morning,
We have been asked to benchmark other Covid Screening clinics to see if they clean the chairs between each patient.
We have not routinely been doing this primarily due to the large volume of patients being seen however the clinic does receive a deep clean every evening.
Many thanks

Hi Jenny,
Not that I have been in charge of running a COVID Screening clinic but I have attended a screening clinic a few times to have a test taken. The clinic I attended had the client/patient wipe down the chair they had been sitting on when they were called in to be tested. There were disinfectant wipes located around the waiting area for them to use and you were reminded by the nurse in the waiting area to use the wipes before going in to have your swab taken. There was also signage up requesting that you do that when called in.
Regards,

Hello Jennifer,
We process 300-320 clients each day through our Covid vaccination clinic.
Due to the fast pace of the clinic, we have found it impractical to clean the pre & post vaccination waiting room chairs between clients during vaccination sessions without them having to then sit in wet seats. These chairs are cleaned twice daily during scheduled break times and again once the clinic has closed.
However, the chairs in the actual vaccination cubicles are cleaned between clients.

Good morning ladies,
Just a question regarding the validity of this expectation.People coming for the vaccination are screened on entry and can’t get the vaccine if they have any s/s of illness.
Just for perspective – hospital waiting rooms and doctor clinics do not clean the chair between every person who sits on it and they are potentially there because they are ill.
What is the rationale for this in the vaccination clinics?Sarah
