This is a great way to show people how to properly use PPE, because if it’s not used properly, it has no effect. Thank you, great job!

[@friedmule5403]

Glad you demonstrated that. May I please ask about a doctor in a hospital, talked about taking the gloves on, inside the sleeves?

[@acchronicles8991]

Informative and direct thanks 🤩

[@kid123cool]

How long have you been able to wear this without sweating and feeling like you cant wear it any longer?

[@kathyrrr8251]

When putting PPE you should avoid touching mask as the way she was doing and touching the gown. By the way I did not see her washing her hands or applying the hand sanitizer FIRST.

[@jeancookchannel2116]

First sanitizer before gown

[@maryoguns6612]

Hi Jesica, my name is Mary, pls you do not tie PPE gown strap in front

[@Mira55_]

Exactly it should be tied in the back so when she goes to remove it she won’t get germs on her hands

[@gerrybongmeneses9293]

Wrong! You forgot sanitizing your hand before and after putting mask, goggles ..Fail!

[@michaelhaile5753]
