All NHS staff free to wear an FFP3 mask for protection against COVID-19.
The only way we have to protect ourselves is by wearing a mask AT ALL TIMES, not just with confirmed cases of COVID-19, but with any patient and in any clinical environment from immediately.
To protect the life of all the NHS workers and indirectly all the UK population. If NHS workers can protect themselves they can still work for their patients'health.
Make sure that all NHS staff does not run any additional risk related to their health, being at work has to be safe at all times, even when there is only a little risk to be infected all the precautions need to be taken.
