Forfeiture of Match Cayman Premier League/PARVOVIRUS ALERT!/BT Man charged with manslaughter
- Disinfection of surfaces can help prevent the spread of parvovirus. A diluted bleach solution (one part bleach to 30 parts water) can be used to disinfect bowls, floors, surfaces, toys, kennels, bedding and anything that may be contaminated and is colourfast or for which colour changes are not important.
- First remove any organic matter, such as soil, and allow for at least 10 minutes of contact time with the bleach solution.
- Disinfect and dry items twice before reusing them.
- Disinfect clothing and footwear as soon as possible if in contact with other dogs, after walks where other dogs may have been, or if in contact with dogs and travelling overseas or between the Cayman Islands.
- Disinfection becomes problematic for non-bleachable surfaces such as carpet or lawn. Outdoors, if good drainage is available, a thorough watering down of the area may dilute any virus present. Additionally, a disinfectant can be used outdoors with a spray hose, although this will be less effective when compared to application to a clean, indoor surface.
