Thats not quite correct for Victoria Kelly.

There is also a requirement to wear P2/N95 masks in certain circumstances see attached Coronavirus (COVIS-19) A guide to the conventional use of PPE- Updated 27 August 2020

What is the current guidelines for aged care facilities regarding staff wearing masks as a general rule? Is it up to the individual organisations?

Please see attached

The below link to the guide to the conventional use of PPE directs that for short duration episodes of care for SCOVID/COVID patients a surgical mask may be worn however the attached would indicate that for all care of SCOVID/COVID residents an N95/P2 respirator must be worn.

I believe that the question was in reference to the care of all residents (not SCOVID/COVID) however, and I would agree with Kelly that we are wearing surgical masks and eye protection.

Not a simple world we are living in!
