The outbreak of the Ebola virus has become the focus of global attention, and the worldwide movement of people has caused the virus to spread rapidly. When people come into contact with the internal organs, blood, or bodily fluids (such as saliva, urine, vomit) of infected individuals or corpses, there is a very high rate of infection. This has led us to actively monitor the situation and take preventive measures in advance for potentially contaminated laundry (bed sheets, work uniforms, personal clothing) to prevent cross-contamination and further spread of the virus. Ensuring the cleanliness of laundry is the primary task for practitioners.
How to prevent and control?
Strict prevention of virus contamination is the top priority in controlling the cleanliness of linens and clothing. The laundry process, procedures, and various standards must be strictly controlled. Various research organizations in different countries (such as Germany, Belgium, the United States, and the United Kingdom) will centrally handle linens and clothing according to relevant guidelines and regulations. In the Netherlands, medical research institutions are working on guidelines for the centralized handling of linens and clothing. This means that contaminated laundry will not enter linen rental companies.
We will continue to monitor the related situation.
About Ebola
It has been confirmed that the Ebola virus has 4 subtypes, each with different characteristics. This means the variability and lethality of the Ebola virus. Currently, there are no effective drugs or vaccines. Special containment and protection mechanisms have been implemented, and people should avoid contact with infected individuals or corpses. The virus can survive for several days in liquids or solids and can be inactivated by gamma rays. The Ebola virus has some heat resistance but will be killed after 60 minutes at 60 degrees Celsius and is very sensitive to sodium hypochlorite and disinfectants.
