VIC HQ N95 Masks - Wed Feb 10 - ABC interview - Part 2
1/4 @Raf_Epstein:“Why not just have an abundance of caution, if you could give everyone N95 masks, I know it’s difficult, they have to be fit-tested, I know it’s expensive, but if you can do it, why not have done that from the beginning rather than coming to that decision today?”
2/4 DCHO: “Well, bear in mind for 2 months we had no cases in staff in HQ, so this becomes another adaptation of what we’re doing to get in front of things..from where we are now...”
3/4 DCHO: “So if we used N95 masks from the start you could potentially argue that we wouldn’t have had the cases we’ve had in the last couple of days, but maybe we still would’ve done.”
4/4
DCHO
“So I can say... one of the people who has been infected in the last week was wearing an N95 mask, and they were infected anyway”
@Raf_Epstein
“That would be a worker?”
DCHO
“Yes. Correct.”
