Crucial Content for Every Frontline Healthcare Worker
Project Firstline’s first video in a series called Inside Infection Control was launched earlier this week. The video, “What’s the goal of infection control?” sets an important foundation for episodes to come. The short video features Dr. Abby Carlson, an infectious diseases doctor with experience on the frontlines of COVID-19 and a Project Firstline staffer. Dr. Abby brings her background as a member of a hospital infection control team and a doctor caring for patients to this video series designed for frontline workers.
Project Firstline’s second video, “SARS-CoV-2? COVID-19? What’s the Difference?” will go live on Facebook Thursday, December 10 at1:00 PM CT. In this video, Dr. Abby answers a frequently asked question and describes why the answer matters.
Going forward, frontline healthcare workers can join Dr. Abby weekly on Facebook for new video releases. She’ll cover topics including:
- What are viruses?
- How do viruses make us sick?
- What are respiratory droplets?
- How can we stop respiratory droplets from making us sick?
- How does hand hygiene stop SARS-CoV-2?
Each Inside Infection Control video is designed to help frontline healthcare workers understand and feel confident implementing the infection control strategies needed to protect themselves, their patients, their coworkers, and their communities.
