The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 “a pandemic” on March 11, 2020[1]. The first case in India was diagnosed on January 30, 2020. This count continues to rise, and the confirmed cases in India on November 19, 2020, were 8960098[2]. The diagnosis of COVID-19 is confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on the oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal specimen. Specimen collection requires the health care worker (HCW) to wear complete personal protective equipment (PPE) as recommended by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Recommended PPE for medical personnel includes an N-95 face mask, impermeable gown, head cover, goggles, face shield, shoe cover, and gloves.
