- Description
- Kawartha Lakes reached out to the community, asking all manufacturers and non-essential health-care practitioners such as veterinarians, to help outfit its paramedics in
personal protective equipment (PPE) as the paramedics service ran low. This included N95 masks, surgical gowns, face shields and hand sanitizer.
Attending paramedics require up to three sets of PPE on a typical call and the ambulance driver is required to put on and take off PPE twice during a call. - Publisher
