The most challenging part of the day is the donning and doffing of our PPE. It has to be carried out in an exact science to prevent from spreading the virus, when leaving an isolation hub. Having a ward dedicated to the virus is much easier then individual isolation rooms. The upside is that it is easy to kill the virus...good hand hygiene does the trick. The virus as is best understood todate is mainly spread through contact to contact and thankfully is not airborne. Contaminated droplets usually don't travel far...hence the 2 meter rule been applied in social isolation when outside.One of the habits that changes first after donning and doffing a few times...is just how often we tend to touch our faces without even being aware of it....So personnel habits begin to change immediately.......and you have to stay on it.....no nose picking or eye scratching ...general movements of the hand to the face change......if you have an itch.....you scratch it with an alcohol gel laden hand.....
Speaking of alcohol....I noticed that the people over here have been pretty good at the distance thing from the start.I think when the pubs were closed...it was a pretty strong message taken by people over here to take this very seriously...
Over here only GOD is allowed to shut the pubs...Christmas day and Good Friday.....so people read between the lines quickly here.
The days pass quickly....
