Joseph Brant Hospital has implemented measures to maintain and protect our supply of personal protective equipment (PPE).
All staff and physicians are to wear a procedure mask when at work. You will receive your mask on entry to the hospital at the screening checkpoint.
Surgical masks are to be changed when wet, damaged or visibly soiled. As well as, after eating or drinking.
Every patient-facing staff and physician should have their own reusable face shield. Face shields are now to be worn in all patient-care areas.
Extended-use of PPE
Staff and physicians are to wear the same surgical mask, N95 respirator and face shields for repeated patient encounters.
Isolation gowns should be used when caring for patients under droplet contact precautions and removed between every patient encounter.
N95 masks are not being reused at this time, but may be in future. Do not dispose of used N95 masks. They will be collected at the end of your shift.
If your N95 respirator is damaged or visibly soiled, discard it.
