Abstract
It is important to evaluate the efficacy and safety of personal protective equipment (PPE) protecting healthcare workers in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. We conducted a survey on PPE usage among healthcare workers who completed their healthcare service for COVID-19 patients in Hubei province (the Chinese epicenter of the epidemic). Efficacy and safety information about PPE were collected from 960 participants and summarized in this study.
