PPE is used to protect the wearer from medical and industry-related hazards. These items are designed to prevent transmission of any diseases from an infected individual to caretakers and first responders especially in the case of airborne diseases. PPE is also used by individuals who have a high risk of contracting infections as a medical condition. All staff, patients and visitors at a hospital are supposed to wear PPE when there is a contact with blood, bodily fluids or respiratory secretions.
Since it is a part of a larger infection prevention measure, the use of PPE is considered very important when managing treatment procedures of COVID-19 patients. Since the disease is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets, there is a high use of medical masks, face shields and particulate respirators.
