Increased risk of COVID-19 in haemodialysis healthcare workers in a tertiary centre in the North West of England	2020-08-05		.txt	text/plain	978	51	56	This observation highlights the need to evaluate the existing Public Health England PPE guidance [4] in HD units that recommends fluid repellent surgical masks and plastic aprons in conjunction with bare below the elbows policy in HCWs treating COVID-19-suspected or -confirmed patients not involved in aerosol-generating procedures [5] instead of ECDC [2] and CDC [6] recommended FFP2/3 masks and long-sleeved gowns in similar clinical settings. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the North West of England initially one shift (19 th March 2020) and subsequently the whole main hospital HD unit (6 th April 2020) was designated for treatment of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients receiving HD. Public Health England PPE guidance [5] was followed for staff caring for suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients including surgical masks, plastic aprons, protective eyewear and gloves and there were no issues with PPE supplies.	./cache/cord-278723-rirmvf3l.txt	./txt/cord-278723-rirmvf3l.txt
