Adequate PPE seems to be the most reliable method we should rely during an infectious disease outbreak like the one we’re living with the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are really serious about the PPE and need to understand with details how to protect yourself, check the technical guide of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe European Center of Disease Control has an online tutorial for those in doubt about how to wear the PPE. If you are a health professional, don’t miss the online tutorial about PPE here<\/a>. You’ll love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the European CDC:<\/strong>
“The tutorial aims to provide trainers with practical information on different options for the use of PPE in healthcare settings in Europe. Infection control professionals, managers in hospital emergency planning or preparedness experts at regional or national level may also find it useful as it contains information on PPE procurement, principles in barrier nursing and occupational health and safety. <\/p>\nIt also aims to improve the protection of staff dealing with infectious diseases of high consequence. It addresses both current risks from viral haemorrhagic fevers and strengthening preparedness for future health threats posed by novel pathogens with either an airborne or a viral haemorrhagic fever (contact\/droplet) mode of transmission. Accordingly, different options for PPE components and processes are presented. These can be adapted to the specific disease pattern and healthcare setting.<\/p>\n
The tutorial is meant to support, but never replace, practical training and regular refresher courses held by experienced PPE instructors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
