Public Health England publishes new guidance on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the COVID-19 pandemic

Thursday 2 April 2020

This revised guidance concerns use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by health and social care workers, in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. It supersedes previous PPE guidance. This guidance relates solely to considerations of PPE, represents one section of infection prevention and control guidance for COVID-19 and should be used in conjunction with local policies.

Table 1 and table 4 in section 5 are of most direct relevance to anaesthetists.
