Question

Can PPE should be washed and disinfected so it can be used again
True or false

Answer 1

True. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can and should be washed and disinfected, when appropriate, to ensure it can be used again safely. However, the specific procedures for cleaning and disinfecting PPE depend on the type of equipment and the manufacturer's guidelines. Some PPE, like gowns and face shields, can be washed and reused, while others, like certain masks and respirators, may be designed for single use only and should be discarded after use. Always follow the relevant guidelines for the type of PPE you are using.
