Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPE?
Is it IMPORTANT?

Hmm (thinking hehe)...

Do U realize that
pandemic Influenza or other novel respiratory virus
is a real possibility in the future?

Our body will not have any natural immunity
to fight this type of virus because the virus is "new".

As a result,
appropriate infection control precautions are the most important defense against transmission.

Health Care Workers
are more likely to have greater exposure than the wider community.
It is critical for Health Care Workers
to be familiar with
recommended personal protective equipment
and its proper use.

Below is the sequence for putting on PPE and taking off PPE.
