Hi everyone
Could you advise what AAMI level of gown used for COVID-19 in your facility? We currently use a Level 4 gown which is extremely hot in the Central Australian weather . Whilst NHMRC refers to an impervious isolation gown, the procurement team are requesting a AAMI level to be used across the facility , except where sterile or chemo gowns are required.
Can you let me know what you use?
Regards
