A member asked:
My wife is a nurse in a gp practice. they are doing patients temp etc as they come in, and have aprons, gloves and masks. is she still at risk of covid 19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Any nurse, physician, or other healthcare worker who comes into contact with many patients each day is at risk. Of course, wearing the PPE-- gloves, mask, gown-- together with frequent handwashing, and the standard hygeine practiced in the medical setting, can reduce that risk substantially.
