Healthcare workers are required to wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) before entering the room of a resident. They are trained on the correct use of how to don and doff (put on and remove) PPE. Wearing appropriate PPE when in proximity to a resident (regardless of COVID diagnosis) provides an additional layer of protection for the staff and reduces the possibility of transmission of COVID from one resident to another.
