PPE Conservation

  • Use cloth face covering when risk is low to conserve supply of surgical face masks and N95 masks needed for high risk procedures.
  • Remove PPE in a manner that allows for it to be easily worn again without contacting contaminated surfaces.
  • N95 maintain their effectiveness for at least 8h of continuous or intermittent use.
  • To re-use surgical face masks or N95 masks: while wearing gloves, store the mask in a bag in a dry, shaded/indoor area for 72h prior to using again. DO NOT use bleach or UV radiation (i.e. sunlight) to ‘sterilize’ the N95 – this will degrade mask effectiveness.
