With the possibility COVID-19 cases may spread in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hosted a webinar featuring health care organizations can use to ensure they have proper protocols and adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) on hand to manage patients exhibiting symptoms of the disease. Health care facilities should guard against the possibility of surgical masks and N95 respirators “walking away” with concerned employees. Administrative controls, such as limiting the personnel who come in contact with symptomatic patients and bundling health care activities, also can help conserve PPE. More detailed is available on the CDC website. (HealthLeaders Media , 2/14/20)
