This revised guidance concerns use of PPE by health and social care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is applicable across the UK and supersedes previous PPE guidance.

Note update: Ultimately, where staff consider there is a risk to themselves or the individuals they are caring for they should wear a fluid repellent surgical mask with or without eye protection, as determined by the individual staff member for the episode of care or single session.
