According to the Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA), healthcare facilities must resolve the problem of inadequate personal protection equipment before restarting non-urgent procedures.
“Reopening elective procedure areas and surgical centers must happen responsibly,” said a WSNA press release. “We must have adequate protective equipment and accessible testing for nurses and health care workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis first.”
