An animated summary of a Cochrane review evaluating the effectiveness of different personal protective equipment for healthcare workers.

Healthcare workers face a much higher risk of infection during outbreaks like COVID‑19, Ebola, and SARS, but which personal protective equipment (PPE) actually works best? In this video, we break down the findings of a comprehensive Cochrane review examining how different types of PPE protect healthcare workers from highly infectious diseases. Drawing on 24 studies involving over 2,000 participants we explore the findings.
