Hi All
I am just wondering what the current practices are in Victoria in high risk areas, in regards to the use of face-shields in addition to a surgical mask at all times during patient care. There seems to be some deviation from the recommendations from the both the DHHS and national guidelines. Are these deviations being driven by anxiety in health care workers or a dedicated response to the current situation in Victoria?Lucille
