Since the PPE doesn’t require double gloves, the recommended procedure is to remove your gloves, then your gown, then face stuff. Once you remove your gloves, you’re touching your dirty gown, your mask, face shield with bare hands. It says to use a hand sanitizer to wash your hands down if you’re hands are dirty......This is stupid.
If you read my original post, you'll note the criticism for not requiring double gloving.
Not to seem like I’m sticking up for the cdc, but what they say to do is pull the gown forward so the back ties break, then touching the outside of gown with gloved hands, pull it down so it begins to be inside out. Then you can continue to peel it off so that you are only touching the inside of everything. Even the gloves end up inside out.

It requires a second person in the exit area to do this properly.
There is no safe way to remove PPE without a bleach rinse first.
Aerosols must be limited as much as possible. They can remain infectious for up to 90 minutes if the humidity is high. Air jets or pressure washes can stir them up.
Low humidity, ozone, or UV light will kill aerosols quickly.
The reported procedures in the hospitals are totally inadequate for a BL-4 hazard.
