infectious disease by removing the majority of the microbes and the conditions
they need to survive and thrive.
6. Disinfecting and sanitizing for microbe control – A targeted disinfection and
sanitizing program can be designed to address high-risk areas, meet regulatory
requirements, and respond to special events or incidents in which there is a
specific biological hazard.
See Chapter 1.A. Introduction for more details on the three-pronged strategy.
