Hi, we are trying to determine what hospitals are doing to conserve PPE (personal protective equipment) during the Covid-19 pandemic. If you happen to work at a medical school or hospital and are aware of their policies or practice (or have friends who do), please consider filling this out. We are generically looking for US hospitals, but other locations are welcome.

Thank you!

It would be very interesting to see the results from this research. Good luck Cassandra.
After using a surgical mask, put it in a paper bag, iron it with a sufficiently hot iron that would not burn the paper, and reuse it. This will inactivate the virus, if there is any on the mask.
Masks made of leaves, was another idea on RG.
