Infection control in non‐clinical areas during the COVID‐19 pandemic	2020-04-19		.txt	text/plain	482	35	54	SARS-CoV-2 is easily transmissible as each person with COVID-19 infects approximately 2.2 close contacts, and asymptomatic transmission has been reported [2,3]. Therefore, we believe non-clinical areas are potentially high-risk for transmission between healthcare workers, and often neglected by infection prevention and control protocols. To alert others to this risk and how it may be reduced, we describe our non-clinical workplace infection prevention and control measures that have been modified from those originally developed during the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic [5] . Infographics are displayed on walls as reminders to perform hand hygiene when entering offices, after contact with respiratory secretions, before and after eating or drinking, and donning and doffing of masks. Designated bins for mask disposal are placed in communal areas.
