A member asked:
If a doctor is exposed to the coronavirus due to seeing a positive patient, is the doctor supposed to self quarantine then?

COVID 19: Interesting question in the age of lack of adequate personal protective equipment. (PPE). Normally, a doctor would have adequate PPE to keep them protected so that they would not need to quarantine. Just seeing a patient does not mean that a doctor has to quarantine.
