Hi Cate, in my experience it was coordinated by the Work Health Safety team
with support from Infection Prevention and Control, and the company from
whom we purchased the masks.

Hi Lori, the masks/respirators should comply with the AS/NZ 1716? The
manufacturing company should provide that assurance if Australian.
Work Safe do provide various guidelines regarding mask selection. Masks
(N95 or P2s) from other countries will have their own compliance standards,
this link to NIOSH may be useful:
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/respirators/testing/NonNIOSHresults.html
I note they tested non NIOSH approved masks and list the companies? The
filtration efficacy rates are varied, some are really poor.

Hi Kirsty, your public health unit should have a process / form for contact
tracing which you could likely adapt for inpatients as well? In that regard
you would be capturing the same data.
