Cleaning and Disinfecting
Regular cleaning and disinfection are essential to preventing the transmission of COVID-19 from contaminated objects and surfaces. Schools are cleaned and disinfected in accordance with the BCCDC’s Cleaning and Disinfectants for Public Settings document and the BCCDC COVID-19 Guidance for K-12 Settings.
- Staff must not bring cleaning supplies from home.
- Only use district provided cleaning/disinfecting products on district surfaces/items. The district uses PCS, which is a cleaning and disinfecting product. When friction is applied with the micro-fiber cleaning cloth it cleans the surface dirt and oil, while also disinfecting the area by allowing the surface area to dry naturally.
- The custodians have cleaning procedures in place that are approved by Health Canada as effective in killing COVID-19 virus and have been confirmed to meet the BCCDC requirements, product, and concentration for all tasks.
- During school/workdays and evening shifts, custodial staff will carry out required cleaning services as per the PHO/K-12 provincial guidelines. These guidelines include the following: All schools/sites:
- General cleaning and disinfecting of schools and workplaces must occur at least once in a 24-hour period.
- Frequently touched surfaces must be cleaned and disinfected at least twice in 24 hours, including at least once during regular school hours. These include: o Doorknobs o Light switches o Toilet handles o Faucet handles o Handrails o Desks, tables, chairs shared by multiple people o Water fountains o Service counters (e.g. office service window, library circulation desk)September 7, 2020 (Draft) 32 | P a g e IMPORTANT NOTE: BCCDC advises that “There are no additional cleaning and disinfecting procedures beyond those that are normally implemented and those noted in this document. This includes when different cohorts use the same space (e.g. a classroom, gym, arts room, home economics or science lab, etc.).” No additional cleaning is required when a cohort changes at the end of a school term, beyond the cleaning and disinfecting procedures that are normally implemented, and the guidelines outlined above.
