1. Recommendations for laboratory epidemic prevention contingency measures are as follows:
(1) Personnel access control registration : Each laboratory is requested to strengthen independent health management and strengthen personnel access control registration (please see attachment 1 for the entry and exit registration form).
(2) Regular daily disinfection and cleaning : Laboratory work surfaces and frequently touched items should be comprehensively disinfected and cleaned, and the frequency of disinfection and cleaning should be strengthened.
For example, laboratory equipment, door handles, buttons, instrument control switches, light switches, faucet handles, workbenches, computer keyboards, screens, tables and chairs, etc.,
should be cleaned and disinfected regularly every day (see Appendix 2 for records).
(3) Wear masks in all aspects : Because the laboratory is relatively closed and has close contact, laboratory personnel should be required to wear masks in all aspects.
(4) Wash hands frequently : Please educate laboratory members to implement hand hygiene and frequency of hand washing (please refer to Appendix 3 for the seven steps of hand washing).
(5) Maintain ventilation in the laboratory : maintain indoor air circulation and good performance of ventilation equipment, and clean air filters and dust screens frequently.
(6) If there are close contacts : If there are close contacts in the experimental site, the experimental site where the person has been in and out should be disinfected after receiving the notification.
