    • Description:
      Updated Oct. 13, 2020

      Who this guidance is for: Federal, state, and local public health officials, respiratory protection program managers, occupational health service leaders, infection prevention and control program leaders, and other leaders in healthcare settings who are responsible for developing and implementing policies and procedures for preventing pathogen transmission in healthcare settings.

      Purpose: This webpage offers guidance for the use of reusable elastomeric particulate respirators to provide respiratory protection to healthcare practitioners (HCP) against pathogens as a component of a formally developed and implemented written respiratory protection program.

      This guidance is based on what is currently known about the transmission and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

      The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will update this guidance as needed and as additional information becomes available. Please check the CDC COVID-19 website periodically for updated guidance.

      Conventional guidance is not applicable during the COVID-19 response when supplies are short. HCP should follow the contingency and crisis strategies.
