Kindly be guided accordingly and use this guidelines effectively to disinfect ship's
accommodation and other areas as necessary.

Clarification:
Disinfectants should be applied to surfaces using a damp cloth. They should not be
applied to surfaces using a spray pack, as coverage is uncertain, and spraying may
promote the production of aerosols. The creation of aerosols caused by splashing liquid
during cleaning should be avoided. A steady sweeping motion should be used when
cleaning either floors or horizontal surfaces to prevent the creation of aerosols or
splashing. Cleaning methods that might aerosolize infectious material, such as the use
of compressed air, must not be used
Portable spray machine shall only be used for larger / open areas for disinfection.
