Does Irrational use Lead to a Global Shortage of PPE?

Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) could play a pivotal role in the protection against Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection which has shaken global health for almost 10 months now. Due to limited resource, the shortage of PPE has become an alarming issue in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to ensure an adequate supply of PPE an effective approach could be the widespread adoption of correct and recommended use of PPEs by suitable target groups.
