O foco desta nota são as implicações da orientação atual da OMS sobre o uso máscaras cirúrgicas e não cirúrgicas/ de tecido durante a pandemia de COVID-19 para trabalhadores da saúde e trabalhadores que não são da área da saúde, mas que estão envolvidos em atividades ass...istenciais comunitárias, especialmente as de combate à malária, doenças tropicais negligenciadas (DTN), tuberculose (TB), infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana/síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (HIV/ AIDS) e doenças imunopreveníveis (VPDs). O uso de máscaras deve ser sempre acompanhado de outras medidas de prevenção e controle de infecção (PCI), como o distanciamento físico de pelo menos 1 metro, a higiene das mãos, evitar tocar o rosto e a etiqueta respiratória usando o cotovelo dobrado sempre que tossir ou espirrar. A limitação da permanência em locais com aglomeração ou espaços fechados, a garantia da ventilação adequada dos ambientes internos e fechados (6), e a limpeza regular das superfícies de alto contato também são medidas de precaução importantes a serem seguidas.

It also provides scenarios of ethical situations in which there is a conflict of values. Nurses are encouraged to use these scenarios for reflection and discussion. No solutions are offered becau...se there is no one solution that is best in all situations. The behavioural directives are intended to help nurses work through ethical situations and provide information about the College of Nurses of Ontario’s (CNO’s) expectations for ethical conduct. These are taken into account when CNO Committees assess nurses’ practices. Nurses need to consider behavioural directives carefully when making decisions about ethical care as this process will strengthen their practice.

It is also a story of women fulfil...ling their reproductive rights, and of couples having access to family planning choices.
