[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well heck, where I work we have public chain restaurants inside the hospital and I promise you no one is changing their scrubs to run to the (national sandwich shop chain) inside the hospital on their thirty minute lunch break.[/quote]

Wearing of scrubs INSIDE the hospitals is understandable.  We're talking about these workers exiting the hospital to PUBLIC spaces.  There needs to be some new guidance on restrictions of wearing hospital scrubs or PPE outside of work areas.  DO NOT WEAR THEM TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD STORES that we all go to.  Who knows where you've been or had contact with?!?  Maybe someone with Covid19 walked by you while you were coming out of the hospital...now you have active viral particles on your clothing.
By the way, some PP stated that viral infection does not happen from clothes...well, they also haven't shown it is transmissible on fomite surfaces.  Does that mean we don't need to wipe down all door handles and surfaces??[/quote]

Scrubs are not the same as PPE.  I wear PPE over my scrubs when working with Covid19 patients. I am completely covered. I am about as dangerous as the average person on a bus or train. [/quote]
