Can you check whether there is any disinfectant gel left on the cart?

Thank you.

Hola Laura, gracias por el aviso. Mañana en mi turno puedo hacer la limpieza rutinaria de la sala 2. Me lavaré las manos al entrar y al salir y usaré mascarilla y guantes desechables para desinfectar camillas y pomos con desinfectante de superficies. También separaré los residuos y tiraré el papel al contenedor para reciclaje.

He revisado el carro: ahora queda poco gel desinfectante. ¿Puedes decirme dónde lo repongo? Y otra cosa: ¿también hay que limpiar la sala de espera esta vez?

Gracias, Marta.
Hi Laura, thanks for the notice. Tomorrow on my shift I can do the routine cleaning of room 2. I will wash my hands when entering and when leaving and I will wear a mask and disposable gloves to disinfect examination tables and doorknobs with surface disinfectant. I will also separate the waste and throw the paper into the recycling bin.

I have checked the cart: there is little disinfectant gel left now. Can you tell me where I can restock it? And one more thing: do we also have to clean the waiting room this time?

Thanks, Marta.
