    We have dedicated a specific theatre for COVID-19 cases. There are gumboots for staff to wear as part of the PPE for this theatre, and they put the gum boots on as part of the PPE and remove them as part of removal of PPE.

    We thought about overshoes for all, but were concerned about staff forgetting they had them on and not removing/changing them. Gumboots are pretty obvious!

    Cheers

    Morning,

    Just wanting to find out what hospitals are doing around COVID-19 positive patients and them going to theatre in particular around the theatre staff shoes?

    Any information with regards to this would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    G’day

    Is that a negative pressure theatre to stop any aerosols getting out to the
    corridors etc?

    We are looking at converting a positive pressure theatre to a -15Pa
    negative pressure theatre just for Covid19 patients.

    Our concern is introducing particles from outside to the sterile zone.

    Hi Michael,

    I was just wondering if each staff member has their own gumboots or do they share between staff?

    And how would they clean them if used in COVID19 theatre?

    Regards,
    Helen
