Northwood Halifax Halifax PPE for Care Aides on April 18th, 2020
I took this photo on April 18th on break to show my friends the PPE I had received to wear at work that day. This is my first shift on a care floor. Prior to this, I had worked for 2 weeks screeninng people for COVID-19 symptoms. Many of my friends and family were scared that there was not enough PPE for long term care workers. I am wearing a hair cap, protective goggles, a surgical face mask, a disposable gown, blue plastic shoe protectors (not pictured), and have just taken of my gloves so that I can use my phone. I was working on a floor with a lot of COVID patients that day. I chaged my gloves between people and had a plastic faceshield to wear if patients were coughing.
