How do you protect yourself after body preparation?
section_content: After the body has been prepared for viewing and burial, clean surfaces using
EPA-approved products in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for all
cleaning and disinfection products (such as concentration, application method,
and contact time).

Products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claimspdf iconexternal icon are expected to be effective against the virus that causes COVID-19 based on data for harder to kill viruses.
After removal of PPE, perform hand hygiene by washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Information on cleaning and sanitizing can be found on the CDC website:

How do I put on (don) and take off (doff) my gown?
section_content: 
Check to see if your facility has guidance on how to don and doff PPE. The procedure to don and doff should be tailored to the specific type of PPE that you have available at your facility.
If your facility does not have specific guidance, the CDC has recommended sequences for donning and doffing of PPE.pdf icon
It is important for Health Care Providers (HCP) to perform hand hygiene before and after removing PPE. Hand hygiene should be performed by using alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60-95% alcohol or washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If hands are visibly soiled, soap and water should be used before returning to alcohol-based hand sanitizer.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer specifically mentions what to do after removing your PPE.
This response is identical to Response #2. It directs the person asking the question to consider his/her facility's specific guidelines. It doesn't really answer the question but puts the question off on someone else.
