Thanks for the question
I need advice for this too. Some facilities asking if appropriate to use plastic aprons under PPE gown when showering clients and confirmation if both needed to be single use or if plastic apron underneath could be washed in washing machine.

Could I please get some advice regarding

1. Showering or not showering covid residents in a RACF setting
2. Should Overshoes be worn during showering and does anyone have a system in place for donning and doffing with overshoes?

Thankyou
Chris
