Esta orientação fornece os detalhes sobre os princípios e os procedimentos básicos de descontaminação que deve se respeitar para descontaminar o ambiente físico no contexto da pandemia da doença de coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19). O risco de contaminação da superfície e transmiss...o difere de acordo com o tipo de configuração e o volume de pessoas que frequentam cada configuração (i.e. instalações de saúde, transporte público e outras instalações/locais de trabalho), mesmo que os princípios de descontaminação ambiental permaneçam os mesmos. Como não podemos cobrir todas as situações aqui, essa orientação pode ser adaptada para situações individuais à medida que elas surgem. Esta orientação concentra-se em como implementar praticamente a descontaminação ambiental e deve ser entregue como parte de um programa planeado e com recursos (1), que é totalmente integrado a outros esforços de resposta a COVID-19.

Many African countries were amongst the most rapid to respond to the emerging threat of COVID-19, implementing large-scale interventions at very early stages of their epidemic. As demonstrated in this document using very simple models, this rapid mobilization and timeliness of implementing control m...easures is likely to be an important determinant of their success. Indeed, as these measures were relaxed, subsequent waves of disease have been observed in many countries including South Africa, Kenya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where such waves have severely impacted the health system by straining the supply of oxygen and ICU beds and inflicting a heavy toll on healthcare workers, often necessitating the re-imposition of control measures.
