Provide a full body suit to the NHS to use as a personal protective equipment
The PPE used at present in the NHS expose: head, knees and shoes. Providing a full body suit will prevent the spread of the virus and will protect the NHS staff from getting sick.The staff is risking to get infected and therefore to infect their families every day.
The Government needs to protect the NHS staff and to insure a safe work environment. Safety is a right that all the NHS members need to be insured, especially during the covid-19 emergency. The NHS staff is managing the covid-19 infected patients with ineffective and unsafe protective personal equipment (PPE). The latter are exposing the head, the knees and the shoes. In contrast, China and Italy have provided a full body suit as a PPE to safeguard the health of the staff. Please act soon.
