Your suggestions are all good, but you need to make clear that those procedures need to be followed after each possible encounter with the virus. Remove gloves and wash hands after each patient visit, for instance.
Be especially careful with patients who require assistance eating, bathing and/or using the bathroom.
You can recommend that staff shower each day after their shift with an appropriate topical wash - I believe there are a few - but you can run into difficulties with the frequent use of anti-microbal cleaning agents.
But the number one biggest way to prevent the spread is to make sure that staff understand and recognize the symptoms of infection.Health Question & Answer
