Health Report · Coronavirus: face masks, sheep dip, clinical guidelines and CT scans · 6 Apr 2020 podcast

And we've had a lot of health workers from the US, particularly where they're facing very difficult

shortages contacting us and asking

Should we is it better we wear no mask?

Then wear a cloth mask.

And my answer is if

If you do not have adequate PPE, personal protective equipment or no PPE, don't work.

You know.

Yeah, I don't think healthcare workers should be expected to work without proper protection, you know, as you yourself have said, Norman, you wouldn't

Send soldiers into war.

against an armed opponent without guns, would you?

So why would you send healthcare workers in to work?

with uh you know, patients with covet nineteen without adequate protection.

It's not gonna help anyone if they get infected.

If one health care worker gets infected.

A whole lot of other health workers who've been in contact with them have to be quarantined.

So you're gonna have a massive impact on your health workforce as well, let alone the personal impact on doctors and nurses.

Yeah, look, I think the the idea of universal face mask use is a good one.

It's put uh without sort of specifically talking about the what material it is, it's a good idea because

with this infection particularly, we know that people can be asymptomatic so have no symptoms but

still be um infectious or have virus in their throat and respiratory tract.
