Isolation and treatment rooms with anterooms will be compromised due to opening and closing of doors to maintain negative pressure.

Instructions to Employee
RC staff must take the following measures:  Minimize entry into the room, adjust hydraulic closures to slow the door movement and reduce displacement effects, avoid placement of room intake exhaust near the door.

Additional Information
Isolation rooms will be monitored by the Program Administrator or his designee once per quarter using the smoke trail testing method.
