What bodily fluid cleanup covers:
Everyone steps away. The crew sets up barriers and puts on gloves, eye protection, masks and protective clothing.
Plastic sheeting and sealed doorways keep contamination from being carried into clean rooms on shoes or tools.
Contaminated materials come out first. Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and odor is treated at its source.
Waste is sealed and removed as regulated medical waste, odor is treated, and the room is checked before it is handed back.

Vomit can carry viruses such as norovirus, so it is treated as a contamination risk. A small amount on a hard surface can be cleaned with protection. Larger amounts or vomit that soaked into carpet or bedding call for a cleanup team.
Dried waste can still carry germs, and sweeping or scrubbing it can send particles into the air. That is why it is cleaned carefully with protection and a disinfectant instead of dry sweeping or vacuuming.
Wash the skin with soap and water right away, and rinse the eyes or mouth with clean water if fluid splashed there. Then talk with a doctor or the local health department about next steps. This is general information, not medical advice.
