How do i prevent myself from becoming sick when taking care of someone who is already sick with coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not easy: Many health care professionals still got contaminated in spite of using protective equipment, including N95 mask, which is a tight mask, goggles and gown. The virus is versatile, survives longer on surfaces and decontamination is also critical when leaving patient’s room. Contact should be limited to few minutes only at a time.
