Description (Dublin Core)

Nurses/ health care providers are given 1 mask per shift to use for the entire 12 hours (sometimes 1 per pt and other hospitals 1 masks for their entire patient load). After we use the mask we place it in out brown bag to reuse- it is being done all across the country. It’s crazy really for healthcare providers to wrap their heads around- we never re-use ppe because of risk of contaminating yourself. But we have no choice. You do it like this now to make your supplies last.
