Harrogate hospital has 'enough PPE' for coronavirus pandemic
Harrogate District Hospital has said it has enough personal protective equipment
Harrogate District Hospital has said it has enough personal protective equipment like masks and gloves.
A hospital spokesperson said:
"The coronavirus pandemic has presented the NHS with many challenges, one of which is the significant increase in the use of personal protective equipment.
“We have implemented the national guidance as published by Public Health England. This is very clear about what PPE should be used in which situation to protect our staff.
"We have enough PPE in stock, and are getting regular deliveries of new items."
It comes after schools in Harrogate delivered more 400 protective visors and 200 pairs of safety goggles to the hospital.
Harrogate Grammar School’s design department has created the visors in less than a week and Ashville College raided its store cupboard before it handed over goggles to be used on the front line.
