Existing infection control measures implemented at the study
facility include an emphasis on good hand hygiene using soap and
water or antiseptic hand gel by the display of placards at each wash
station, isolation precautions for patients with an infection,
encouraged sick time for employees with symptoms, and restricted
access to the play area and pool for certain infections, although the
compliance rates are not known. Standard precautions, such as the
use of gloves, gown, and hand hygiene, are known to help keep
infection rates down.
