The personal protective equipment (PPE) required will depend on whether you have direct patient contact and whether you are carrying out an aerosol-generating procedure. There is further detail on this in the BMJ Learning module but the guidelines for managing patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 have been changing rapidly and we advise that you check these regularly for updates. An FFP3 or N95 mask is needed for aerosol-generating procedures, in combination with a full length, long sleeved gown (rather than apron), hat, visor, and long cuffed gloves. The correct order for donning (putting on) PPE is as follows: Apron Face mask Eye protection Gloves The order for doffing (removal of) PPE is: Gloves, then hand hygiene Apron or gown Eye protection, then hand hygiene, Surgical face mask or FFP3 respirator, followed by hand hygiene
