What can health care personnel do to protect themselves
when caring for patients who are symptomatic or have tested positive for
COVID-19?
Health care personnel (HCP) are on the front lines of caring for patients with confirmed or possible infection with COVID-19. When caring for patients, health care personnel should familiarize themselves with the CDC
information on caring for patients with confirmed or possible COVID-19
infection and use the appropriate PPE. CDC has a page on FAQ
regarding PPE.
Where can I find the latest information about PPE in the Commonwealth?
