What type of personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended for those who are involved with disease control and eradication activities?
According to CDC and WHO, US NIOSH certified N-95, European CE certified EN143 P2 / EN149 FFP2, or comparable national/regional particulate respirators should be worn by workers who eradicate infected poultry. Higher level particulate respirators may also be used. Disposable gloves, protective clothing, shoe covers or boots, and safety goggles should also be worn by eradication workers. Disposable PPE should be properly discarded, and non-disposable PPE should be cleaned and disinfected. Hand hygiene measures should be performed after removal of PPE.
