Dear Brains Trust
Our hospital has reduced services to the companion animal community however euthanasia is still something we have to do.
We already ask the clients relevant questions regarding their health and contact status but when a euthanasia is being carried out, the 1.5 metre separation rule can’t be applied and our staff are concerned they have not been given PPE.
Should standard precautions be in place?
Thank you
