@AbraarKaran @CPita3 All HCWs are Covid HCWs and all need respirators. This study early on in the pandemic showed housekeeping staff had highest rates of infection of all staff. https://t.co/R7YOPzANAh
@mjb302 Aren't all HCWs now Covid HCWs? It's everwhere in our hospitals and clinics and therefore porters, cleaners and housekeeping staff are also at risk. This study showed they have highest rates; they need RPE too. https://t.co/R7YOPzANAh
@OncoloJo @ImperialNHS @Imperialpeople Great news 👏👏. Does this mean all staff, incl housekeeping, porters, cleaners. They have highest infection rates. https://t.co/R7YOPzANAh
@j_g_allen 2/2 of infection of all hospital staff. Risk is therefore everwhere in hospitals, and all HCWs need respirator masks. Why advocate a less protective mask, which has failed to keep HCWs and patients safe for so long? https://t.co/R7YOPzANAh
@EvonneTCurran This evidence is 20 months old - housekeeping and ancillary staff have highest rates of infection. These front line essential workers in health care are being forgotten about, again. It's not only about Drs and Nurses. RPE needed *everywhere

Absolutely this. It's too little, too late and illogical.
@JujuliaGrace A step forward but still restricting this to direct clinical care. Why waste time on risk assessments - just say respirators for all HCWs across the board. Housekeeping staff and non clinical roles are highest risk - we've known this for 18

Preventing inter hospital transmission essential for reducing hospital stay & mortality in vulnerable patients. Also maintaining staffing. We learnt early in the pandemic that highest risk of infection wasn’t always patient pacing staff. https://t.co/o
@hughes_eilir Same old "workplaces are Covid-safe" BS we have seen throughout. The findings of this study have still not been addressed https://t.co/u9NJPZdCdE, i.e. "Seroprevalence was greatest among those working in housekeeping (34.5%), acute medicine
I have not once seen Acute Medicine feature on the News, which has focused on ITU & EM as managing the worst of the pandemic. Our colleagues there are amazing, but let's not forget AMUs & GIM have probably borne the brunt of the secondary care vol
A low burden of COVID-19 found in the ICU air and the higher level of aerosol protection worn by ICU staff may explain why staff in ICUs appear to be at significantly lower risk of becoming infected than those working on regular wards ( https://t.co/pamLel

So confirmation again that AGPs are not helpful or relevant to Covid risk in health care. All HCWs should therefore have FFP2/3 masks, as this study, now a year old, clearly demonstrates. Infection rates highest in ancillary HCWs https://t.co/R7YOPzANAh
