摘要
K-12 school staff from Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio were asked about their use of disinfectants to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in schools. Survey participants (n =1,555) reported frequent use of disinfectants, often using unknown products, and were provided little to no training on safe and effective use. Participant con-cerns included student involvement in disinfection, inadequate ventilation, surface contact time, and poten-tial health effects.
