• Do not provide regular housekeeping service to rooms where individuals have been in isolation and ensure staff are advised not to enter rooms until authorized. 
• Implement alternate means of assisting guests in isolation such as leaving fresh linens, toiletries and cleaning supplies outside the door during the period of isolation.
• Properly wash/sanitize any reusable glassware or dishes in rooms between guests (in commercial dishwasher) or provide disposable dishes and utensils in rooms.
• Once guests have left an isolation room, complete thorough environmental cleaning on hard surfaces with an approved disinfectant (see environmental cleaning section).
• Designate specific staff to clean potentially contaminated areas or complete cleaning/disinfection AFTER regular housekeeping. Provide appropriate PPE and review hand-washing procedures.
• Launder any removable cloth/plush items.
• Steam cleaning can be used for areas which are likely to be contaminated but cannot be laundered (plush chairs).
