Emergency PPE Training for Health Care Workers Against COVID-19

 

“This study demonstrated that an emergency training of PPE based on whole-process simulation can effectively improve the protective skills of healthcare workers who have chance to contact the COVID-19 patients, and may therefore be applied for larger scale,” say study authors in discussion of the clinical significance.
