Re: [LM_NET] MRSA

["Rice, Connie" <Connie.Rice@GALLATIN.KYSCHOOLS.US>]

I would like some information on this topic also.  We had a case
diagnosed in our building last week and had the usual disinfecting of
public areas, except library books.  I wondered over the weekend about
the kinds of bacteria left behind on books that go in and out everyday.

My school has just been informed that we have a confirmed case of the
MRSA 
virus. This requires the school to be completely cleaned. I am not
concerned 
about cleaning the computers, but I am wondering about the books, 
particularly the paperbacks. Have any of you had any infectious disease 
issues in your school. If so, how did you handle the precautionary
cleaning 
in the library? Thanks.
