HI everyone
Could you tell me if your facility is supplying hospital ( surgical OT) scrubs and laundering to clinical staff in quarantine or swabbing clinics, drive through or otherwise. If so can you tell me the rationale and point me in the direction of evidence that this reduces transmission of COVID-19.We are advocating that PPE including Gown, eye protection, mask and gloves is sufficient for these environments.

HI Cate
Our experience in the beginning was that it didn’t matter IPC or Executive had informed people not taking surgical scrubs from Theatres. People just did it.
IPC & ID continue with the consistent message of PPE is appropriate; along with hand hygiene.Eventually, many members of the General Medical Team have purchased their own. We still have some who continue to use hospital scrubs yet it is a lot less.
Our ID/IPC Team decided to write a brief communication about this: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpc.14938Regards
