Response for COVID-19 (PPE, Decon, and Transport)
As first responders continue to provide vital emergency medical services during the COVID-19 pandemic, they face unprecedented circumstances. EMS personnel must be able to safely handle the rapidly growing number of calls for possible cases of COVID-19 in a variety of settings, making vital decisions quickly, sometimes with limited information and resources. Being prepared to handle calls related to COVID-19 can keep first responders safe, flatten the curve that we have heard so much about, and help to break the chain of infection.
