CORONAVIRUS | While doctors and nurses struggle to obtain N95 face masks, those walking the streets can be seen wearing them.
| Australian hospital workers on the coronavirus frontline said they daily receive letters of thanks, some people even bring them pizzas, but what they really need is proper respiratory face masks to replace faulty and homemade face shields.
Emergency doctors and healthcare workers union representatives said they have been assured by authorities there are stockpiles of personal protective equipment and efforts to produce more are ramping up. "We have doctors and nurses who have been disciplined for trying to wear a mask at work. It's a situation full of conflict and confusion."
Miller said there was a lot of PPE in storage across Australia that was not being made available to frontline healthcare workers now.
