Doctors hit out at expert advice on masks – Education – Australian Associated Press
There are growing calls for better respiratory protective wear to become mandatory for Victorian healthcare workers as infections among them rise.
Australian doctors are increasingly critical of the expert advice on protective equipment, saying surgical masks protect the patient but “are not designed to shield the clinician”.
Victoria recorded 139 new infections among healthcare workers on Friday, bringing total active cases in the group to 911.
The Australian Medical Association hit out at the Infection Control Expert Group on Friday for failing to recommend that P2 or N95 masks be mandatory in COVID-19 care settings.
