Do a lot of apartments have access to a washing line? Also seems kinda slow?

This is fair - no it won't work in every situation, just didn't see good old air and sunshine mentioned in the thread anywhere.

Surely the only scalable solution in a medical context is to get workers to change out of uniform at work and hand over to industrial laundry service, everything else relies on procedure outside the work environment which not everyone is going to do reliably and is difficult to supervise / QC.

If 90% of workers are able to effectively sterilize their uniforms, will that solve 90% of the problem? Less? More?

Less because pathogens multiply again once they are back in the clinic.

slow? much faster than hanging them up to dry inside

It's slower than throwing them in a standard dryer, in both clock time and human effort time.

Depends a lot on the climate and season.
