[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From CDC:
"though OSHA regulations prohibit home laundering of items that are considered personal protective apparel or equipment (e.g., laboratory coats),967 experts disagree about whether this regulation extends to uniforms and scrub suits that are not contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious material. Health-care facility policies on this matter vary and may be inconsistent with recommendations of professional organizations.1253, 1254 Uniforms without blood or body substance contamination presumably do not differ appreciably from street clothes in the degree and microbial nature of soilage."
 
Also:

"Apart from this study, which documents the presence of pathogenic bacteria on health-care facility clothing, reports of infections attributed to either the contact with such apparel or with home laundering have been rare."

You can quote all you want from the CDC but their guidances change like the wind.  They are dunces in this pandemic...that is how we are where we are today.  They dropped the ball and now are paying the piper![/quote]
