PPE and risk of COVID-19 transmission in healthcare
Dr. Jason Bowling, hospital epidemiologist for University Health, talks about PPE, the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the health care environment, and when it's safe to go home and hug your family.
Here’s what we asked him:
- How do masks keep us safe?
- How much risk is involved in working with or around COVID-19 patients?
- Should health care workers take special steps to change and sanitize their clothes when they go home?
- Are PPE and hand hygiene enough to keep my family safe?
- What if I have the virus on my clothes?
- What about healthcare workers who are exposed to undiagnosed COVID-19 patients?
