Checklist for Terminal Cleaning and Decontamination of Ebola Care Facilities

The facility should NOT be reopened for other purposes until the safe completion of the process, documented by the use of the checklist. For psychological reasons, it is suggested to repaint the walls and/or refresh furniture, if possible. Spraying rooms with disinfectants are not recommended. It is a potentially dangerous practice with no proven disease control benefit and the disinfectant may not reach all desired surfaces. Spraying may be acceptable outdoors when it is the only feasible option or considered when necessary to disinfect sand or gravel floors. When spraying is used, cleaning with water and detergent to mechanically remove the contaminants and organic matter should precede it. After spraying of disinfectant, it may necessary also to ensure that it is properly distributed on the surfaces. Cleaners undertaking to spray should wear full PPE.
