My wife’s a community nurse for - visiting elderly people with any number of underlying problems, including mental health issues which can mean the concept of social distancing or even hand washing is not going to be understood.
She has one mask .. which she has been told to use if the person she visits has symptoms of C19.. presumably she’d be given a replacement at that point. Her guidelines tell her masks are not essential.
My strong suspicion is that this guidance will change once the care-homes get over run with cases and the NHS have procured enough masks to warrant community nurses not being treated as expendable.
