Surely better PPE must be provided? @who.int
I feel as a fellow doctor & as one impacted significantly with the aftermath of an airborne infectious disease (Covid 19) - that must not let these healthcare workers catch Ebola as a result of substandard face masks.
They need FFP2 or FFP3 protection!

Labour are too busy to pay attention to public health.
The covid19 inquiry concluded 5 weeks ago that the guidance was flawed and that sars-cov-2 is airborne.

This was entirely foreseeable once HCWs realised that, a few weeks earlier, (13/3/20) they'd been deceived into believing FRSMs would keep them safe while delivering close-quarter care to infectious patients.
HSE, to their eternal shame, stood by like toothless tigers and just let this happen.

The proposals to revise RIDDOR’s list of occupational diseases omit reference to COVID‑19, airborne infectious diseases, or Long COVID. A significant gap. SARS‑CoV‑2 remains an occupational hazard in health & social care, education, & public‑facing roles.

@zarahsultana.bsky.social please can you ask why after a Covid inquiry nothing has been mentioned yet about changing guidance that is incorrect and leaves us all at risk for any future Pandemic.
The knew it was airborne from day 1.
We need these for Ebola because the virus can be aerosolised and still each day are photos of medical staff sadly wearing FRSM masks. 🧵
For an airborne risk you need to wear respirators which seal your the face.
The guidance is still wrong. This is appalling after a Covid inquiry.
