Sterilization of disposable face masks with respect to COVID-19 shortages; a nationwide field study including 19 sterilisation departments

2021-01-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objective</h4> Face masks also referred to as half masks are essential to protect healthcare professionals, working in close contact with patients having Covid-19 related symptoms. During the threating deficit, healthcare institutions sought an approach to re-use face masks or to acquire imported masks.
