Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its recommendations for personal protective equipment (PPE). Based upon updated recommendations shared by the CDC, the attached updated guidance document from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) updates PPE recommendations for health care providers to reflect a greater availability of PPE and return to conventional uses of PPE, including N95 respirators. Healthcare providers should expect to return to conventional facemask and respirator use, meaning discarding as mask after each patient encounter, no later than July 1, 2021.
