Disinfection of Stock and Surfaces

 The Robert Koch Institute recommends the following for the disinfection of stock and surfaces: "Daily wipe disinfection using a disinfectant with proven efficacy for the "limited virucidal activity" spectrum of (hand contact) surfaces close to patients (e.g. bedside table, wet area, door handles). If required, the disinfection measures must be extended to further surfaces at risk of contamination."
