COVID-19: documentation in LPU in questions and answers
In the context of constantly changing regulations, orders, guidelines and other administrative documents on the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, it is important to rationally organize the forces and means of the medical organization.
To begin with, all anti-epidemic measures should be divided into three groups:
1) measures regarding the source of infection;
2) measures targeting the mechanism of transmission;
3) activities regarding the susceptible host.
Each group of measures is regulated by local regulations. Consider their.

- in cafes and restaurants
And in other enterprises, where there is a question of short-term or long-term storage of products.
The instructions address the following issues:
- Frequency, schedule of decontamination cleaning for refrigeration equipment
- indications for disinfection
- recommended processing aids
- cleaning equipment
- Procedure for use, modes of application of disinfectants
- Who must carry out the procedure
- Safety rules, protection of the employee’s health when in contact with disinfectants

Order 09 for sanitary regime in a pharmacy has died
Normative documents regulating the sanitary regime of pharmacy organizations have always been among the most important for pharmacists and pharmacists. For almost a quarter of a century the main “regulator” of this topic was the Order of the Ministry of Health of 21.10.1997 09 “On approval of the Instruction on the sanitary regime of the pharmacy organizations (drugstores). This has now been replaced by GHSA Regulation 4.
Let’s note one significant difference. If earlier the topic of sanitary regime in a pharmacy was regulated by the regulatory act, approved by the Ministry of Health, now the source of legislative regulation in this area becomes the Chief Sanitary Doctor of the country, which is the head of Rospotrebnadzor. On what this may mean in terms of the controllability of pharmacy organizations, we will talk below, but for now let’s move on to Regulation 4, under which pharmacies operate.
Routine tidying up

The current one is different from the general cleaning of medical rooms. It has a special algorithm of actions:
- With the onset of a new work shift, all surfaces are cleaned with detergents.
- In the standard scheme use a solution in which 10 liters of water, 50 g of cleaning powder.
- Next, disinfection is carried out.
Special rules must be observed. They are prescribed in accordance with the norms of SanPin:
- The employee must wear special clothes and shoes. The presence of rubber gloves, headgear, bathrobe is sufficient.
- Garbage is collected, packed in special bags, and disposed of.
- All surfaces in the room shall be treated with disinfectants.
- Every surface must be wiped with damp cloth.
- Floors are rinsed thoroughly, especially under couches, behind benches and underneath.
- The quarts shall be performed for one hour. Accompanied by ventilation.
- The utensils are washed, treated, and dried.
- In the schedule of cleaning of medical facilities, data about the employee who performed the work and the time of performance are entered.
The floor is cleaned with 2 containers. Each container is intended for a certain liquid:
First wet the rag in the first bucket, wipe the floor, wet in the second bucket and repeat the rinsing.
It is very important to keep the rooms where people are fed in order. After each meal, wipe down tables, chairs, if necessary, the floor. In addition during the routine cleaning it is necessary to:
- Remove dirt from window sills, furniture, equipment, work surfaces.
- Wash walls and floors with disinfectant solutions.
- Do quarts in the same way as for general cleaning in medical institutions, especially in operating rooms, intensive care wards.
- Airing.
If you keep your clinic clean regularly, it will take less effort and time to do a general cleaning. The current maintenance is enough 2 times per working hours. In operating rooms, cleaning is performed after each procedure.
