The routine practices and additional precautions lay out in some detail the PPE to be used together with descriptions of the different types of medical grade gloves, masks and respirators, and eye protection. It is noteworthy that if this approach were followed for exposure to SARS-CoV-2, a biosafety Risk Group 3 organism [7], the choice of respiratory protection for any patient encounter for suspected or known COVID-19 disease would be at least a filtering face-piece respirator. Canada usually tends to align closely with US practices, but it is notable that the guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is different in recommending an N95 respirator in all situations for a patient suspected or known to have COVID-19 [9] .	./cache/cord-355827-e38itktq.txt	./txt/cord-355827-e38itktq.txt
