What does CDC recommend regarding routine cleaning of institutions?
Establish regular schedules for frequent cleaning of commonly touched surfaces, including: doorknobs, handrails, elevator buttons, desks, tables, chairs, sofas, and counters and surfaces in cafeterias, meeting rooms, and offices. Provide disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces can be wiped down daily and prior to each use. These surfaces include: chairs, study carrels, remote controls, keyboards, headphones shared in language laboratories, and telephone receivers and touchtone pads in common areas. Encourage students to frequently clean their living quarters. Students living together should regularly clean frequently used surfaces. Routinely clean surfaces and items that people frequently touch with their hands with cleaning agents that are usually used in these areas. Additional disinfection beyond routine cleaning is not recommended.
