If you suspect or are aware that a resident has an infection, then details should be confirmed for the correct IPC precautions to be put in place for the safety of the resident and others. We are undertaking rapid work with the Social Care Institute for Excellence to create a hub of best practice and develop practical tools for care home staff. Stepping up NHS Clinical Support Dust surfaces once a week to reduce allergens which may bring about allergies. Also dusting will protect surfaces from wearing and scratches. Stay ahead of big cleaning jobs in an assisted living facility with weekly housekeeping duties. These projects also provide opportunities to confirm the condition and safe operation of doors, windows and light fixtures.

Directors of Public Health will contribute to the prioritisation of tests and support the local coordination of testing, so that the sequence of testing meets local needs. The following prioritisation criteria will be followed, as agreed in consultation with Public Health England: A terminal clean is carried out when the resident is no longer considered infectious and/or when the environment is cleaned/decontaminated to ensure it is safe for a new resident.Blue: This is for general lower risk areas, including for offices, communal areas, and resident rooms. The scientific evidence shows significant asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 in care homes via both residents and staff, similar to the transmission seen in the wider community. By the time a single symptomatic case is identified in a home, the virus is likely already to be circulating among residents and staff.

CPE should be considered if the resident meets any of the following criteria within the 12-month period before admission: that systems and resources are in place to facilitate implementation and compliance monitoring of IPC as specified in this manual in all care areasShould be stored in a clean, allocated area. This should be an enclosed cupboard but a trolley could be used as long as it is completely covered with a waterproof covering that is able to withstand cleaning.
