<div>Exactly--so everything would need to be cleaned, but the question is how? </div>
<div>Is isolation for a time good enough? Is freezing an option? How can items be made safe, without destroying them?</div>
<div>Should employees wear protective gear to empty and process returned items? </div>

In regard to the items coming back from patrons that have tested positive for the coronavirus, how would a library know because of the patron's right to privacy under the ADA Act?

the KDL-based Pandemic Policy, but asked a very pertinent question regarding what comes during and after a pandemic to the collections. How do you clean materials returned by those that have contracted the virus--and do we need to be proactive now and use
some method of cleaning books or waiting? If we're being told to use our own pens to sign things, does that mean that slick book covers and DVDs might be a source of infection. >From the reports I've read, some are saying the virus can live on these surfaces
for up to 48 hours--and you cannot clean these items with bleach or spray cleaners. I've not seen any conversations regarding this phase of a Pandemic for libraries.</span>
