Operative words
Adequate cleansing, renovation or disinfection of rooms, furniture, clothing and belongings when deemed necessary by the health officer or required by the Public Health Law or by this Chapter shall immediately follow release, death or removal of a person affected with a communicable disease. Such cleansing, renovation or disinfection shall be done under the direction of the health officer.
Penalty
§ 229: fine and imprisonment for non-compliance with the Sanitary Code (Ex. DUT-NY-006); § 12 civil penalties (Ex. DUT-NY-001)
What it required
Cleansing or disinfection of rooms, furniture and belongings, under the health officer's direction, immediately after a person affected with a communicable disease (COVID-19 designated in 10 NYCRR 2.1) left them, the Sanitary Code provision behind the workplace cleaning-and-disinfection protocols the Department of Health guidance required of every reopened business.
Retrieval noteSaved from the Cornell LII compilation of the NYCRR after the Department of Health's own page (https://regs.health.ny.gov/content/section-253-cleansing-renovation-or-disinfection-when-required) failed the rendering check; the two texts were compared and are identical. The 2020-2021 isolation and quarantine rule, 10 NYCRR 2.13 (emergency adoptions and readoptions), is held in the State Register issues at Exs. NY-134 (May 26, 2021) and NY-071 (readopted Aug. 26, 2021: 'New section 2.13 added to clarify isolation and quarantine procedures'); the Department's site now shows the 2023-2024 text of §§ 2.1 and 2.6 and lists § 2.13 as repealed, so the codified 2020-2021 text of those sections is cited from the library's State Register exhibits and not re-saved here.
