PPE made simple and logical...I hope

1 understand the modes of transmission

COVID-19 is predominantly droplet and contact

I think of droplet like the water falling from a gutter. Just keep away. But if someone steps under it with an umbrella it’s spreads widely

2
Match the protection to the mode of transmission

3
Understand what PHE now considers hotspots - which can be regarded as locations for universal airborne protection

4
Understand how you convert single use to sessional use.

For airborne precautions just add the apron over the long sleeved fluid repellant gown.

Put it all together

So - at its simplest these are the only two rules you need to understand to interpret and use PHE’s new rules.

Or you could use this ....and the footnotes

....and this
.....and a lot of text to read too
