According to the US CDC, if a person is infected with Covid-19 in an organization, the organization can be cleaned and disinfected after a 24-hour wait. However, if you wait for 7 days and take regular measures like other times to clean and disinfect, there is no need to take extra measures considering Covid-19 infection.
In order to keep the Covid-19 infection clean and disinfected, a few things need to be taken care of. Anyone who does this should wear a medical/surgical mask and water-resistant gown. Dirty and unhygienic furniture, appliances, floors, other surfaces should be cleaned or scrubbed with soapy water (especially 80% alcohol solution in the field). Keep in mind that there is no benefit in applying disinfectant spray or smoke without cleaning the dirt on the items or places. And there is a risk of harm to human health if sprayed with disinfectant on the human body and daily necessities. The World Health Organization has made it clear that if anything (not the human body) needs to be cleaned with disinfectant, it must be wiped with an approved level of chlorine solution (such as wiping the floor of the house, rubbing the soles of the shoes), spray or fumigation. No. The rules for killing mosquitoes and cleaning and disinfecting the house are not the same.
When the Covid-19 epidemic occurs in the country or in certain areas, every room and equipment of the organization should be cleaned and disinfected regularly, whether Covid-19 infection occurs in someone or not. Adding personal hygiene to institutional hygiene will make you safer.
