COVID-19 Policy Response Plan

Waste Management
All personal waste, including used tissues and all cleaning waste, should be placed in a
plastic rubbish bag.
The bag should be tied when it is almost full and then placed it into a second bin bag and
tied. Once the bag has been tied securely, it should be left somewhere safe.
Foot-operated bins are available in all rooms and accessible to staff and children.
In the event of a suspected case or confirmed case of COVID-19 occurring at the service,
the following waste management system will be used:
There is a supply of refuse bags available for the double bagging and disposal of
contaminated waste to be used only if a case of COVID-19 is suspected in the service.
A designated area for the storage of possible contaminated COVID-19 waste for 3 days
must be available after which time it can be placed with normal waste.

Rooms will be kept well ventilated by opening windows.
