Victorian health officials are now recommending doctors wear N95/P2 respirators for any contact with probable or confirmed COVID-19 cases.

The changes announced on Wednesday expand the previous recommendations that doctors should only wear respirators for prolonged care wherever probable or confirmed cases were cohorted, such as in COVID-19 wards.
