Might be helpful but the suites themselves are spreading the disease.....they’re extremely hot in side with the temperatures there as they are...so medical staff often open them just for relief as they come close to passing out.
It’s a bad situation all around.......
The suit in question.

This variety has the tyvek layer, which is hot enough, but also a poly layer for liquid protection, so it doesn’t even breathe. I use the tyvek ones, no poly layer normally, all the time, and they are, as you say, really hot, especially if you’re doing anything physical.
Add no AC in Africa and appropriate respiratory protection, and I don’t see how doctors can work in this gear at all.
