“…All ECT centers worldwide have adopted the policy of universal safety precautions for administration of ECT during COVID-19 due to possible false-negative test results and asymptomatic carriers. Recommendations for full PPE include N95/ FFP2 (or higher) masks, face-shields, eye goggles, fluid-resistant long-sleeved gowns, and double gloves for all members who are actively involved in ECT administration ( Bellini et al, 2020 ; Bryson and Aloysi, 2020 ; Burhan et al, 2020 ; Chevance et al, 2020 ; Colbert et al, 2020 ; Flexman et al, 2020 ; Gil-Badenes et al, 2020 ; Lapid et al, 2020 ; Schumann et al, 2020 ; Sienaert et al, 2020 ; Tor et al, 2020a , b ; Purushothaman et al, 2020 ). The housekeeping staff involved in disinfection of the ECT room should wear at least N95/ FFP2 (or higher) face masks and gloves and limit their exposure to the bare minimum ( Lapid et al, 2020 ).…”
