5. WEAR - PPE USAGE
Staff should use appropriate PPE according to their work process.
For example, for home visits. Our nurses still have to perform home visits. So before going
for the home visit, they will call the patients first to ask whether they are around in the house and
to ask whether they are having any problems, fever or have any contact with COVID-19 patients.
They have a checklist on what to ask and what to do. So, when they go to the homes, they will
wear the appropriate PPE for examination of the child and the mother.
