A member asked:
What rules do doctors have to follow to ensure they don't spread novel coronavirus from a sick patient to someone else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: Ideally we would be wearing clean masks and PPE for each patient and washing hands in between. Changing out PPE may not be possible with each patient due to the lack of needed supplies in the US.
