Kaplan Criteria for Norovirus
Vomiting in 50% or more of casesAverage/median duration of illness of 12-60 hoursAverage/median incubation period of 24-48 hoursStool specimens negative for bacterial pathogens
Many consider absence of fever to be another indicator for Norovirus infection

Disinfectants for Norovirus
When selecting a disinfectant, it’s important to consider the product’s entire formulation since there may be significant disinfectant action synergism produced by the specific combination of ingredients.
![Page 40: Cruise Ship Medicine Infection Control on the High Seas](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c4ad54459e0644c976cc17/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

41
Disinfectants for Norovirus
To make an informed choice of disinfectants:Request/demand company and independent testing data from the manufacturer or distributor that supports their efficacy claims against FCV/NorovirusTest the disinfectant for adverse effects on your own ships’ environmental surfaces
![Page 42: Cruise Ship Medicine Infection Control on the High Seas](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c4ad54459e0644c976cc17/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Fogging
Applies small droplets of disinfectants to the air and environmental surfacesRapid environmental surface coverageEffective for disinfection of horizontal surfaces and air but not vertical surfaces, under surfaces, or shadowed areasCold vs. thermal vs. electrostatic
![Page 43: Cruise Ship Medicine Infection Control on the High Seas](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c4ad54459e0644c976cc17/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Major Uses for Fogging
Livestock pens/barnsFood processing plants
Usually preceded by surface cleaning and spray disinfectionReduces airborne microbial contamination and applies disinfectants to surfaces15-30 minutes of active fogging45-60 minutes for fog to settle and air to clear
![Page 44: Cruise Ship Medicine Infection Control on the High Seas](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c4ad54459e0644c976cc17/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Fogging
Most health authorities do not recommend the use of fogging in healthcare facilities
Efficacy vs. spray & wipe disinfectionQuestion need for full surface disinfectionLogistics – Where do we put the patients?Potential adverse reactions of already ill people to the fogging agents
![Page 45: Cruise Ship Medicine Infection Control on the High Seas](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c4ad54459e0644c976cc17/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Fogging
Infrequently used in hotels, cruise ships, trains, tour buses, airliners
Anecdotal reports indicate that fogging may be a useful mode of disinfection for Norovirus outbreaks aboard ship as well as in shoreside hotels.
![Page 46: Cruise Ship Medicine Infection Control on the High Seas](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c4ad54459e0644c976cc17/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Fogging Aboard ShipShould be considered an adjunct to thorough surface cleaning and disinfection
Allows for supplemental disinfection of known and potentially contaminated surfacesSoft surface coverage – furniture, drapes, carpets, wall coveringsFog cabin for about 1 minuteLet stand for at least 1 hourOpen room to outside air if possible
![Page 47: Cruise Ship Medicine Infection Control on the High Seas](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012915/61c4ad54459e0644c976cc17/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Disinfection
Institute enhanced food preparation and food service environmental surface disinfection proceduresApply hypochlorite (bleach) 1000 ppm and then rinse with potable water
The usual 200 ppm “no-rinse” hypochlorite solution is not effective against Norovirus

Hand Hygiene
Contaminated hands are probably the single most common vector for the spread of Norovirus
Stay Healthy–Wash Your Hands

Alcohol-based Hand Sanitizers
A product must provide at least a 2 log10 (99%)reduction in pathogens to be considered an effective hand sanitizer

Efficacy ofAlcohol-based Hand Sanitizers
Provide an overall 3-4 log10 (99.9-99.99%)reduction in bacterial and viral pathogens with a contact time of 15 secondsNon-enveloped viruses are more resistant and require an extended contact timeFCV/Norovirus are reduced by only 1-2 log10 (90-99%) with a 30 second contact time
