MedPPE emphasizes the role and timing of health workers jobs and offers specific information to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The guidelines are aimed at all personnel working in health facilities, including security guards, administrative and cleaning personnel, transfer assistants, nurses, biomedical and imaging technicians, surgeons, and physicians, among others. MedPPE provides guidance for the use of PPE according to workers’ function, the level of care they provide, and the multiple environments of primary health care and hospitals. The tool also clarifies the type of PPE needed when performing aerosol-generating procedures and other activities related to the care of patients infected or suspected of being infected with COVID-19. However, use of PPE alone is not enough to protect against COVID-19. Hand hygiene and proper PPE dressing and undressing procedures must also be followed, along with the proper disposal and management of waste. MedPPE is available in Spanish, English, Portuguese and French for iOS and Android devices

Hay que cumplir con las medidas de higiene de manos y con los procedimientos de vestido-desvestido de los EPP y la disposición y manejo de residuos. Es igualmente importante difundir la información y mantener el entrenamiento al personal sanitario y a los funcionarios administrativos.
