In pandemic times, medical staff is becoming a key resource in fighting the infection. To achieve the best medical care, relevant techniques and procedures have to be taught to medical staff to reduce the risk of infection.

An assistant should observe and assist with the donning procedure until you are secure in your ability to carry this out on your own.
