Changes have been made to Chapter 2.3 of the NIPCM.

The requirement for 'twice daily' decontamination has been changed to 'at least daily' and now reads.

'Patient isolation/cohort rooms/area must be decontaminated at least daily, this may be increased on the advice of IPCTs/HPTs. These areas must be decontaminated using either:'

The word 'Vacated' has also been added and now reads

'Vacated rooms should also be decontaminated following an AGP'.
