The Environmental Services (EVS) department of about 70 people for Nash UNC Health Care is responsible for cleaning the entire hospital, from the hallways to the bathrooms, to every patient room and care area.
Nash UNC already has precautions in place to help reduce the risk of COVID exposure that include deep cleaning and sanitizing the hospital. .
The way the facility is cleaned has changed in order to address the coronavirus pandemic, according to an article on the Rocky Mountain Telegram website.
For instance, the hospital has a new cleaning chemical that can kill the virus within a minute, and the staff uses it to sanitize everything from the rooms to elevator buttons to the telephones.
