Coronavirus: Has the NHS got enough PPE?
Unions have been concerned that some care workers do not have proper protective equipment
Clinicians carrying out tasks that could generate airborne droplets of saliva loaded with the virus should use an even higher standard of protection, including disposable gowns, filtering respirators and face-shielding visors. Some bits of kit can only be used once per patient, while others can be used for whole sessions, such as during a ward round visit to many patients.All PPE worn during the highest risk situations - where there will be lots of splatter from infectious droplets - should be single use.It is easy to see how a member of staff would need to use lots of PPE when following the guidelines.
