Abstract
In fact, little information about the appropriate sequence of removing PPE is available, and what is available often contains contrasting recommendations (Table 1).2,3,4,5,6 Moreover, for several of these sets of recommendations, hands potentially contaminated through contact with patients' droplets and secretions present on the PPE could contact the nose, mouth or eyes while the health care worker is removing his or her mask and eye protection.Keywords
