How do you get out of a hazmat suit without being exposed to what is on the outside?

Someone sprays you down with bleach solution before you get out of that hazmat suit.

It’s part of the MSF protocol that’s seriously lacking in the CDC recommendations for our hospitals here.

It’s one reason MSF has had vanishingly few healthcare workers infected when compared to other organizations.

They don’t skimp on protection for their workers. In this case, overkill is cheaper than a million dollars per patient in treatment somewhere.

I’ve read that they go through a chlorine shower in the suit before removing it. Chlorine kills the virus immediately.

Yeah, I’d be scared sh—less.
