As our general level of concern about the risk of COVID-19 in Australia drops, our focus on effective cleaning and disinfecting should not.
It’s more important than ever to ensure staff maintain safe hand hygiene practices and use hand sanitisers that meet the WHO guidelines for formulation or, even better, a TGA-registered product.
Continue to regularly clean and disinfect all surfaces, particularly high-touch surfaces such as door handles, counter tops, tabletops, EFTPOS units, etc. It is very important to have the appropriate infection prevention practices (cleaning, disinfection, and hand hygiene) in place to reduce the risk of staff and/or customers being exposed to pathogenic micro-organisms such as COVID-19.
Microorganisms can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces such as water jugs, eftpos machines, benchtops, tables, chairs and door handles. Good hand hygiene practices and surface disinfection are critical in reducing the risk of contamination in cafes, bars, and restaurants.
