Self-reported adherence to recommended IPC proceduresa used during most recent clinical contact with COVID-19 case.
a Recommended infection prevention and control (IPC) procedures during direct medical care with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients according to WHO interim guidance document (6 April 2020) [26] on the rational use of personal protective equipment (PPE) at the time of data collection: (A) contacts with aerosol-generating procedures (e.g. tracheal intubation, non-invasive ventilation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation): Gloves, N95 mask or equivalent, eye protection (i.e. goggles or face shield), and fluid-resistant long-sleeved gown. (B) Contacts without aerosol-generating procedure: Gown, gloves, medical mask and eye protection (goggles or face shield). Hand hygiene was part of recommendations during all contacts. b Of those respondents (n = 60) that did not use an N95 respirator, 58 (97%) used another type of face mask, such as surgical mask (categorized in this figure as ‘no’). c Of those respondents (n = 44) that did not use either a fluid-resistant gown or full-body suit, 26 (59%) used a disposable plastic apron (categorized in this figure as ‘no’). d Of those respondents use either a gown or full-body suit (n = 120), 68 (57%) used a disposable plastic apron. e Of those HCWs that used a face mask (n = 802), 69% used an N95 mask (n = 557) and 31% (n = 245) used another type of mask, such as a surgical mask.
