‘Dumbfounded’: Paramedics wearing masks that could spread COVID-19 – The Age
Victorian paramedics have been issued with vented masks that could potentially place patients at risk of catching coronavirus.
But emergency doctor Carl Le said he had repeatedly encountered paramedics delivering patients to hospital while wearing vented masks.
“I’m sort of dumbfounded by what I’m seeing,” he said. “There is a risk of cross-contamination.”
Dr Le said he had personally raised the issue with paramedics.
“They just said, ‘This is what we’re supplied with’.”
