Marin County Fire Ambulances/Systematic Covid Disinfection at 3 Locations
Apr 13 News Release: https://www.marincounty.org/main/county-press-releases/press-releases/2020/fire-...
Systematic process for disinfecting ambulances after every patient is transported to the hospital. There are now three disinfectant locations close to the three Marin hospitals, all staffed with trained contractors who clean vehicles that could have transported a patient suspected of having the COVID-19 coronavirus. [...] Since late March, personnel have cleaned patient and driver compartments with both chemical cleaners and medical-grade, heavy-duty ultraviolet light disinfection systems. All equipment used on emergency calls is cleaned as well. It takes about 15-20 minutes to thoroughly disinfect each vehicle. [...] “We’re doing it to ensure not only the first responders are working in a safe environment, but to ensure the safety of the patients whom they are treating,” [Marin Deputy Fire Chief Mark] Brown said.
