Following the advice of public health agencies, CDC and OSHA, NC State does not recommend the use of surgical masks, gloves, or other personal protective equipment for normal use to control exposure. Only mandatory employees, such as emergency responders and health care personnel, categorized as “very high exposure risk” under OSHA, will be included in respiratory protection planning.
