摘要
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a huge demand for alcohol- based hand rubs, medical gloves, face masks, and gowns in healthcare and from the public. More and more hospitals face a serious shortage of these articles. We propose a risk-adapted approach to ensure adequate patient and healthcare worker safety for as long as possible.
