@Sarah977 , good information, as the article states the laundry will need special handling:
"They noted that a higher viral load was detected after prolonged contact with sheets and pillow covers."
“The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the surface samples of the sheet, duvet cover, and pillow cover highlights the importance of proper handling procedures when changing or laundering used linens of SARS-CoV-2 patients,” they said.
If I have any guests this summer, I'm now thinking house rules / C-19 Guest instructions:
- guests strip the bed and place linens in a laundry basket with their towels.
- guests at check-out leave windows open to air the room out.
Cleaners enter the unit 24 hours after check-out and I'm scheduling 4 day gaps between all reservations. I'm not planning on a busy year!
