Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical for protecting healthcare workers and containing the spread of COVID-19. PPE includes coveralls, face shields, gloves, goggles, headcovers, masks, and footwear. It is important to properly don and doff PPE to prevent exposure to contaminated environments. Key steps for using PPE safely include sanitizing hands, properly securing all pieces of the equipment, and carefully removing items one by one without touching the outer surfaces to avoid spreading germs. PPE plays a vital role in preventing the transmission of the highly contagious COVID-19 virus from infected individuals.

2. IMPORTANCE OF PPE IN COVID19
Personal Protective Equipment, often known as the PPE kit, is an important
component in protecting ourselves from illnesses or viruses that can be spread.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn by medical personnel (PPE). It not
only protects healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses, but it also aids in
the containment of the dangerous disease.
The Personal Protective Equipment Kit (PPE Kit) is critical in the fight against the
pandemic. It helps to prevent the extremely contagious COVID-19 virus from
spreading from one person to another. There is a chance that the virus has
infected our surroundings; a PPE kit prevents our body parts from being exposed
to the contaminated environment.

of hands.

and carefully pull the gown down and away from the body. Rolling the gown
down is an acceptable approach. Dispose it in trash
• Remove face shield or goggles. Carefully remove face shield or goggles by
grabbing the strap and pulling upwards and away from the head. Do not touch
the front of the face shield or goggles.

not touch the front of the respirator or facemask.*
