Tourist Accommodation Permit Application and Information

The Center for Environmental Health uses the Georgia Department of Public Health’s Tourist Accommodations Plan Review Checklist as a guide when evaluating your facility’s plans for compliance with the Rules and Regulations for Tourist Accommodations. This document can also be used to assess new plans for completeness prior to their submittal for review or to perform self-checks of existing facilities.

The cleanup process that occurs after a vomit or fecal event is very important since these substances may be contaminated with highly infectious pathogens, such as norovirus.  Norovirus is a highly contagious microorganism – as few as 10 viral particles can make you sick, and a single vomiting incident can spread as many as 300,000 viral particles into the environment.  Matters are further complicated by the fact that norovirus is resistant to many disinfectants, so choosing the right product for disinfection is essential.

The following materials are provided to help guide you through the safe and effective cleanup of vomit or fecal material:

• Cleanup Procedures for Vomit/Fecal Events
• EPA Registered Disinfectants Effective Against Norovirus
• Poster: Clean-up and Disinfection for Norovirus
