Using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Because of the infectious nature of the pandemic, further caution is needed in order to prevent the spread of disease. One way to effectively control the spread is to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), sometimes more articles of PPE than were initially recommended. Equally important to containing the spread of germs is to properly don, doff, and dispose of the PPE. The CDC has compiled some instructions to teach healthcare professionals how to properly put on and take off PPE. The web page is complete with downloadable posters with infographics to hang around the facilities as well!
