Proposal for a EN 149 Acceptable Reprocessing Method for FFP2 Respirators in Times of Severe Shortage

2020-05-07

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Introduction:</bold>Transmission to health care workers (HCW) poses a major burden in the current Covod-19 pandemic. Unprotected exposure to a SARS-CoV-2p patient is a key risk factor for HCWs. Droplet transmission, and high transmission during aerosol-generating procedures are modes of transmission, requiring a respirator such as N95 or FFP2 respirator to protect the HCWs, likely...
