The OOA recommendations for patient interaction in the clinical setting:

• Limit the total number of patient interactions, only see those who need to be seen urgently
• Droplet and contact precautions  for anyone with patient interactions

1. Fluid resistant mask to cover the nose and mouth
2. Safety goggles or full face-shield (corrective eyewear doesn’t count)
3. Barrier protection: gown and gloves (can also include scrubs in the clinical setting) 

N95 masks are reserved for aerosolize generating procedures (High flow O2, Chest PT, and Intubation)

~ 50% of disease transmissions occurs from pre-symptomatic patients.  Let’s do our best to protect our patients, ourselves and one another
