When performing an operation on a patient who has suspected or confirmed infection with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), personal protection equipment should include hair covers, face shields or goggles, N95 respirator masks, a blood-borne pathogen-resistant surgical gown, shoe covers, and double-gloving with single-use gloves. The components used to accomplish this level of protection when dealing with patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection include gloves, gowns, eye protection, hair covers, shoe covers, and an N95 particulate respirator 13 (U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Healthcertified N95, European Union standard filtering face piece [FFP]2, or equivalent) that is fitted to the individual. Surgical masks are loose-fitting devices that provide a physical barrier without restricting airborne contaminants and are used in our institution for health-care worker interaction with all patients unless they were suspected of or confirmed as having COVID-19 infection.	./cache/cord-301402-andxwyi3.txt	./txt/cord-301402-andxwyi3.txt
