You healthcare professionals. Even when you aren’t in a level 4 containment situation, NEVER wear the shoes you wore in the hospital in your car or your home. Buy a cheap pair of hospital shoes that you store in a plastic bag in your car. Change shoes before you go in to the hospital and change back to street shoes before you get back in your car. Hospital floors are littered with droplets from every patient’s sneezes and coughs. Hospital janitors only mop and sanitize a couple of times a day. All other times, the floor should be considered contaminated. What will that extra pair of shows cost? $50. Is you life or the lives of your family worth less than $50? Do you want your children to get TB or staph or whatever is on the hospital floor?
