No unauthorized personnel should enter the operating room.
8.2 Technological regulations for final disinfection
Medical waste should be disposed of as COVID-19 related medical waste;
Reusable medical devices should be disinfected in accordance with the technological regulations for disinfection of reusable medical devices associated with SARS-CoV-2;
Medical woven materials should be disinfected and disposed of in accordance with the technological regulations for disinfection of infected woven materials associated with SARS-CoV-2;
Surfaces of objects (instruments and devices, including instrument table, operating table, operating bed, etc.);
- Visible contamination with blood/biological fluids must be completely removed before disinfection (rooms treated in accordance with the procedures for removing blood and biological fluids).
- All surfaces should be wiped with a disinfectant containing active chlorine at a concentration of 1000 mg / l and left for 30 minutes with the disinfectant.
Floors and walls:
– removed before disinfection (rooms treated in accordance israel number data with blood and body fluid removal procedures).
– All surfaces must be wiped with a disinfectant containing 1000 mg/l active chlorine and left for 30 minutes with the disinfectant.

Processing of corpses: Fill all patient openings or wounds such as mouth, nose, ears, anus and tracheotomy openings with cotton balls or gauze soaked in a disinfectant containing chlorine at a concentration of 3000-5000 mg/L or 0.5% acetyl hydroperoxide.
Wrapping: Wrap the body in a double layer of woven material soaked in disinfectant and place it in a double layer of sealed body wrap sheet soaked in chlorine-containing disinfectant.
The staff must move the body as quickly as possible to the hospital isolation ward through the contaminated area to a special elevator, and then transport it by special vehicle directly to the designated cremation site.
