precautions. Both rooms had PPE bins outside of the door, but there were no face shields or goggles
available.

precautions. Both rooms had PPE bins outside of the door, but there were no face shields or goggles

staff providing care to residents on isolation was to wear PPE appropriate for the precautions in place. The
DON stated PPE for droplet precautions included a N95 mask, face shield, gloves, and a gown if providing
