These environmental cleaning guidelines are intended for cleaning areas and environment where persons infected by COVID-19 have worked, lived, stayed, but the chemicals recommended for cleaning can also be used prophylactically to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although specific data on the efficacy of measures against coronavirus are lacking, environmental cleansing with water, household detergents and routine disinfectants is sufficient. It is recommended to use 0.1% sodium hypochlorite (1:50 dilution) to clean and disinfect the environment in non-healthcare facilities (homes, public facilities, vehicles, educational institutions and other places where COVID-19 patients have worked, lived, visited).
