Abstract
they are usually treated with aerosol-generating C-PAP therapy (ie, they occupy C-PAP beds). 6 On February 25, the hygiene and epidemiology unit and the prevention-protection service began providing telematic training to all hospital workers. Related course work has been developed to address various issues. A preliminary lesson was prepared on the epidemiological occurrences related to -coronavirus outbreaks, with specific references to SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, specific instruction on the importance of hospital disinfection, hand hygiene, and the use of PPE, has been provided to all healthcare personnel (ie, physicians, nurses, cleaner workers, etc). Finally, additional technical training has been provided to maintenance workers responsible for aeraulic systems to enhance their performance quality during this pandemic.
