Here the hospital is next to walmart. Hospital people go to walmart. The docs n nurses come right into the Wal-Mart with their scrubs still on. It ain’t true. They dnt take them off. I saw for myself many times. Also It is done in another medical center college cafeteria too 60 miles awY. Yupyupyup. Great theory but it aint practised here. Unenforceable?
I don’t know what hospital you’re taking about but I can assure you that the folks you’re talking about didn’t just walk out of a surgery room. Your probably seeing non OR staff from various departments. OR staff fall under a different set of rules due to contamination and infection guidelines. Many of the folks working in hospitals wear the same scrubs all day and rarely wear a mask (New Covid guidelines have changed some of that) but they’re not in the operating rooms. The surgery staff come in their civilian clothes or maybe a set of personal scrubs, they are not allowed to wear those in the room. They change into a set provided by the hospital and change out between surgeries and those scrubs never leave the hospital. Those scrubs just don’t get thrown into a washer, those go throw a wash and decontamination process. Infection control is a high priority in the OR. You don’t want somebody coming into a room with dog hair on their scrubs nor do you want those scrubs leaving the hospital with the various fluids they can accumulate while in surgery.
