Course overview

COVID-19 is caused by a novel coronavirus. Viruses are known to survive on surfaces for an extended period of time and, based on our knowledge of influenza, can be transmitted via contact with contaminated surfaces. So good knowledge of effective surface cleaning and disinfection in the healthcare environment is important. 

This course can be accessed at work or at home on a variety of smart devices.

30 minutes of verifiable CPD
