Use of eye protection in the form of protective goggles or face shield is recommended for interaction of HCWs with patients especially while doing aerosol generating procedures. Should the HCWs be advised to use eye protection while interacting with their colleagues at their duty stations or duty rooms as they constitute the high risk group? Also what should be the advice to other desk job workers like accounts, billing, reception, corporate office etc. regarding use of PPEs especially eye protection, as they remain in contact with their colleagues as well as patients' attendants for long duration?
I do think eye protection is important, facemask is important too.

It has been shown that the contagious rate of SARS-Cov-2 diminishes significantly if both interacting persons are wearing masks, so it seems logical that the more physical barriers exist between individuals talking and interacting with each other, less probable is to get a viral contagion.
