The SARSCoV-2/COVID-19 entry for optimal patient placement and RPE has been updated and now reads.

• Optimal placement whilst patient is considered infectious and until resolution of symptoms: High Risk (Red) Pathway & ideally single en-suite room or confirmed COVID19 cohort.

• Respiratory protection (RPE) for healthcare workers whilst patient is considered infectious: Fluid Resistant surgical facemask (FRSM) for routine care and FFP3 or hood for AGPs
