#COVID19IsAirborne a #MedEd & community PSA #education 
Let’s talk about #COVID19
HOW it’s spread so we ALL know understand WHY #WearAMask 
Let’s also ALL understand WHAT TYPE of

#Quarantine to protect workers prevent breaches.

As of Oct 12 Vic @VicGovDHHS @DanielAndrewsMP @VictorianCHO mandated fitted masks only
No more shields, no flimsy face coverings only 2-3 layered fitted
or surgical masks.
This was because our understanding of the #science had changed. Sadly we learned the hard way .....

The change to #WearAMask included a change to #HCW guidelines in #healthcare settings.
Community were now in fitted masks because of recognition of a dominant role of spread ofthrough the air so now #HCWs also needed greater protection with n95 or respirators.

This was to prevent #HCW #agedcare worker infections reduce chance of them re-infecting community!
WHY?
Because over 3500 Victorian #HCW had been infected because we initially thoughtwas spread via droplets & #HCWs ONLY had droplet precautions in form of a surgical

The #COVID19Vic #HCW data 
for anyone interested.
Since introduction of higher level #airborne protections including #ventilation audits and improvements of all hospitals & facilities respirators or n95 for at risk settings no #HCW infections!

This has included #airborne precautions or controls in #agedcare #healthcare #quarantine buildings.
#Ventilation checks by engineers to see if #air flow can be improved
Fit-testing of n95or respirators to ensure they actually fit properly to provide the 95% protection.

Yup it’s called an n95 respirator or because it stops 95% of particles. Only 95%!
We want to be sure it at least stops the 95% to protect out #HCW #agedcare workers #Quarantine workers 
crew to protect them.
This protects them AND
getting back into community.

Fit-testing is mandated in high risk industries that require n95 respirators or
Industries like mining where miners are at risk of breathing in particles that may lead to cancer or
disease.
It should be done for ALL #HCW
#Auspol should demand it.
To protect all

To protect all
Fit-testing is cheap, easy & quick in most cases. Sometimes takes longer if someone’s face doesn’t fit the masks available.
Yes it needs to be repeated if mask availability changes or someone’s face changes from significant weight gain or loss.
My mum is happy I’m fit-tested!

Some new changes in protect us ALL because reduce transmission when virus is in the #air or if someone is talking & spits out droplets
@ScottMorrisonMP @GregHuntMP @PKelly_CBR
thank you for protecting all by including mandatory on airports.

The #science of why #WearAMask helps reduce transmission is from @trishgreenhalgh and team.
This includes gyms and yesother indoor settings. The less #ventilation there is the more people higher chance of someone with the higher the risk of #COVID19 infection.
