Regular During-the-Day Cleaning & Disinfecting Procedures
- Each classroom will be equipped with paper towels and disinfecting spray/cleaner.
- Staff should disinfect tables and counters frequently. Disinfecting should take place when campers go outside.
- Bathrooms and touched surfaces (railings, doorknobs, handles, etc.) will be disinfected frequently.
Regular End-of-Day Cleaning & Disinfecting Procedures
EPA approved cleaners will be used to clean surfaces and disposable wipes such as paper towels and Clorox wipes will be used. If a sponge or rag needs to be used for cleaning it will be disposed of in a sealed bag or container. The disinfectant spray used will be a diluted bleach solution consisting of 4 teaspoons of bleach to a quart of water. These bottles of disinfectant will be labeled clearly so that they are used appropriately and not mistaken for other cleaning solutions. An alcohol-based sanitizer with greater than 60% ethanol or greater than 70% isopropanol will be available at the first aid station.
Cleaning and Disinfecting Procedures for confirmed COVID-19
Extra cleaning and disinfecting procedures will begin 24hrs after the confirmed case. If waiting 24 hours is not possible, as long as possible will be waited.
- First clean visibly dirty surfaces then perform disinfection.
- Use disposable wipes/paper towels to clean surfaces if possible, rather than reusable cloth wipes, as the latter can re-contaminate surfaces. All cleaning and disinfecting materials (e.g., paper towels, cloth wipers, sponges, mop heads, etc.) should be disposed of in sealed bags or containers after use.
- Particular attention will be given to high touch areas, including, but not limited to, handrails, door handles, cabinet and drawer handles, shared sports equipment or craft tools.
- Clean a potential source area by progressing from the most distant point to the entrance to avoid re-contaminating surfaces that have been disinfected (i.e., clean your way out).
How to Wash Hands
- Wet your hands with clean, running water. Turn off the tap and apply soap.
- Lather your hands by running them together with the soap. Make sure to lather the back of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds (about the time it takes, to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice.)
- Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel or an air dryer.
You may use paper towels to turn off the faucet and/or open the door to the bathroom.
How to Use Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizers should contain greater than 60% ethanol or greater than 70% isopropanol. Hand sanitizers are not a substitute for handwashing for there is easy access to a sink.
- Apply the product to the palm of one’s hand. Rub hands vigorously.
