Corona Virus Update, 6/9

Hospitalizations dropped below 300 today in Connecticut.

Currently hospitalized are 293
At one point almost 2000 were hospitalized. 

Which brings me to my one request today.

Can you please give me an update on your hospitals and the use of PPE?

I’d like to know if you are reusing PPE or doing “extended use” of PPE, above and beyond normal infection control practices.

1. Using PPE for more than one patient?

2. How long are you using PPE? (Days, etc.)

3. What PPE are you using in this reuse or extended use fashion? (Surgical masks, N95s, gowns, etc.)

Remember, we have surgical masks and face shields. Going out most days to locals.

Thank you and be well,

John
