ID: b7n2og71_3
Snippet: Many hospitals have initiated efforts to treat N95 respirators to deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus so they may be reused by health care workers. The CDC has recently released guidelines on extended use and limited reuse of disposable N95 respirators in the health care setting.

Document: Many hospitals have initiated efforts to treat N95 respirators to deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus so they may be reused by health care workers.

However, there is a dearth of high-quality evidence evaluating fit and function of masks after such treatments.
