Dr. Jennifer Murphy also participated on the call to provide guidance for cleaning and disinfecting of facilities.
She highlighted that each location should identify their own high touch areas on their unique campuses, and put into place a plan for cleaning and disinfecting these high touch point areas based on frequency of use.
High touch points such as Door handles, light switches, faucets, etc... should be cleaned and disinfected at least daily, and that additional frequencies may be needed depending on the number of people accessing these spaces and touching these objects.
