Legal Justification

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed significant pressure on the global supply market in terms of a range of products including type IIR masks, and fluid resistant masks. COVID-19 is transmitted via small airborne droplets emitted by infected people when sneezing, coughing or talking. Therefore, a wide array of protective products designed to ensure protection are used such as face masks. As a consequence of the pace of the virus spread and following Government guidance, surgical masks must be used by all healthcare workings in an inpatient and social care clinical setting. This has significantly increased the day-to-day usage of the surgical masks.

Other Information

Government guidance is that type IIR surgical masks must be used by all healthcare workings in an inpatient clinical setting when; - Working in an inpatient, maternity, radiology area with possible or confirmed case(s) – direct patient care (within 2 metres) - Working in an inpatient area with possible or confirmed case(s) (not within 2 metres) - Working in an emergency department/acute assessment area with possible or confirmed case(s) – direct patient care (within 2 metres) - All individuals transferring possible or confirmed case(s) (within 2 metres) - Operating theatre with possible or confirmed case(s)3 – no AGPs2 - Labour ward/area – 2nd/3rd stage labour vaginal delivery (no AGPs2) – possible or confirmed case - Inpatient care to any individuals in the extremely vulnerable group undergoing shielding (WA Ref:118346)
