[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2242788, member: 345386"] The issue with rewearing is removing it can be tricky, bearing in mind both outer and inner surfaces can be potentially contaminated. Removing it and touching the contaminant, the touching anything else, including bin lids or whatever, creates another potential transfer option. Were I wearing a mask and gloves, I would do as I did in a clinical environment, back in the day, exercise a technique for relealis the mask, using one gloved hand, then removing said glove, pulling it over the mask, so that it is almost "bagged". Even structured masks can fit in a size 6 (very small) glove. Then the whole thing straight into clinical or contaminated waste, depending on the circumstances. I didn't realise those early days of dealing with HIV patients, with gowns, masks, double gloving and deep clean downs would come in handy so long later. Please do NOT consider I am comparing this to HIV or any other condition. I am not. [/QUOTE]
