CDC Reopening Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting

Considerations to help you make your plans for re-occupying your facilities.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued new guidance, see Reopening Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting Public Spaces, Workplaces, Businesses, Schools, and Homes.

Making sure people feel comfortable to leave their homes and return to their normal work spaces will be a challenge. I keep hearing statements like, "X facility is being 'deep cleaned' before the workforce is allowed to return to work." What is "deep cleaning"? I think having CDC guidance will be very helpful in establishing a standard for what is "clean."
