Thanks @Airbnb for stating the obvious, but not always obvious requirements, as recommended by WHO, as well as considered general, but best practise.
🌼 Although these are all common sense procedures, common sense is also known as a “superpower”! Lol.....
Without scare mongering, a few other suggestions where as hosts, we need to supply essentials.
🙌🏼 Washing:
- If a bathroom is shared amongst guests and the host family, or maybe dorm styled with multiple cubicles of toilets and showers, discard soap bars at the general wash basins and use liquid dispensers. Same for in the laundry.
🙌🏼 Shared soap bars are widely known hazards for cross - contamination.
- Those soap dishes also need extra cleaning to avoid cross contamination from an individual’s soap.
- Use aerosol disinfectants for hard to reach air pockets and surfaces. eg: lamp shades, inside cupboards.
- Maybe use essential oil diffusers alongside the cleaning products, with oils that have antibacterial qualities.
- Please note, that liquid soaps that are sold as antibacterial, STILL need a long hand wash for the suppression of germs. There are no shortcuts.
Other items:
🙌🏼 Toys etc:
Like Daycare centres, you should ensure they are regularly washed with disinfectants or a good detergent. Dry in the sun or place in a dryer.
🙌🏼 Where applicable, please be proactive with protecting yourselves with vaccinations against seasonal “flu”. For the aged or those whose immunity may be compromised, pneumococcal vaccine and others, may need to be considered. Seek information from your doctor if clarification is needed.
Hope this helps....
