There are two parts to this post. How to protect yourself from YKW 1) after Moving into a new home and 2) while staying in a hotel.
I found a link that gives instructions from EPA but it doesn’t answer all Of my questions. https://www.cdc.gov/********/2019-n...1QVpkBG3Vu8KsXj3p9fFCSQTQTJERm2alBX0cX9yVS1-E
May be someone here has experience moving in the last 4-6 months? Also experience with hotel stay?
I never used to think of such things Before YKW.
I will be moving into my new home soon. I have scheduled movers. I was assured That they will wear masks, but I will need to ask about shie covers. I know they don’t wear gloves. I have hired a company with the best feedback and recommendations from friends.
I plan to wipe down all surfaces with Clorox wipes and mop the floor with Pinesol. My concern is about the carpet. I have not found a way to disinfect that. I know that the movers will have shoes on. Unless they use Shoe Covers the carpet will be contaminated, The EPA site uses words Like bleach and warm water on soft surfaces but that would be impossible on a carpet in a bedroom.
I will have to stay in a hotel when I travel, which I have not done in six months.
Because of the current situation I am always concerned about staying in hotels. Some hotels specifically say that they disinfect. I would feel safer there. Some don’t provide bed sheets. I am going to carry bed sheets with me.
I could wipe down the surfaces but it is hard to tell about the air. What if someone who was Asymptomatic with YKW and stayed in that room before me, is there a way to protect myself? I have read about having good ventilatio. May be carry a small fan?
